Health can be simple

Eastern medicine is holistic and preventative.

This ancient system is based in the principles of nature and provides the diagnostic tools to see the whole person and the overall pattern of health imbalance.

An experienced Eastern medicine practitioner can help you sort out conflicting or contradictory information from various healthcare providers and online trends.

We want to help you achieve a healthy balance throughout the change of seasons and life challenges, which can prevent more serious disease and dysfunction.

Conditions we can help with.

Here are just a few of the issues we typically treat, and often people come in with unusual or hard to diagnose symptoms, or issues that are bothersome but do not respond to typical medication.

Some of the strategies we use include dietary modifications, sleep hygiene, stress management, exercise suggestions, daily rhythm practices, and Chinese herbal formula prescriptions.

  • Digestion irregularities: gas, bloating, constipation/loose stools, pain with eating, issues with appetite, sugar cravings.
  • Insomnia and other sleep disorders: difficulty falling asleep or difficulty staying asleep, waking not rested, restless sleep.
  • Fatigue and low energy: brain fog, body feeling heavy, lack of motivation, inconsistent energy levels.
  • Stress and overwhelm: feeling unable to slow down, mental activity that does not stop, tension in the body from stress.
  • Seasonal allergies: nasal drainage, sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, congestion.
  • Colds and flus: starting to come down with a cold or flu, or lingering symptoms from viral illnesses.
  • Painful periods and PMS: cramps, bloating, mood swings, low back pain, breast pain, menstrual irregularity.
  • Perimenopause and menopause support: temperature disregulation, sweating, hot flashes, mood disregulation, low energy, weight gain, brain fog.

          Classical Chinese herbal medicine

          The science of Chinese herbal formulas has been used successfully for centuries as part of traditional Eastern medicine. These formulas are designed so each herb works harmoniously with the others, creating a unique architecture to support the body as a whole.

          In the Western medicine approach with supplements, individual vitamins, and especially pharmaceuticals, the herb is broken down into its constituent parts and that particular part alone is concentrated. This can have unintended consequence such as short or long-term side effects, as the body needs to process a substance that is out of context.

          Chinese herbal medicine understands that the human body is complex, intricate, and individual. For any given health condition there may be many conflicting imbalances that require reorganization in order to resolve.

          By working with the natural energetic flows of the body this medicine can help get you in a balanced and healthy state.
