Acupuncture for General Health

Stress
Acupuncture is able to reduce cortisol levels, thereby reducing our level of stress. It also decreases heart rate, lowers blood pressure and relaxes the muscles, which further calms down the body. While it isn't always possible to remove the external forces causing stress, acupuncture is an effectively way to manage stress

Immune Support
Acupuncture and herbs can help the immune system in two primary ways. First, it can calm down our sympathetic (stressed out) state enabling parasympathetic functions such as rest and repair, which are needed to help the immune system. Second, it can stimulate the body to produce natural chemicals that are involved in immune system function

Women's Health
We specialize in supporting women through all stages of life from puberty to the fertile years and to menopause. Challenges like no periods, menstrual cramps, PMS, breast distention, and hot flashes can all be addressed

Sleep
Acupuncture can stimulate the release of beneficial neurochemicals like gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which promotes relaxation and sleepiness
Acupuncture and herbal treatment are able to help with general health by treating the root cause. We look for internal imbalances that cause energy “blockages” or changes of the neurotransmitters that can lead to issues with stress, sleep, immune, and reproductive functions.
