Does acupuncture work for anxiety?
Possibly. Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at the person as a whole from physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, & energetic levels. Sometimes this broader approach to searching for the root of a problem while treating the symptoms is a tool for change. Anxiety & stress are two areas that respond well for some people. READ MORE
Is acupuncture effective in treating blood related problems like anemia?
Acupuncture is part of a system of Traditional Chinese medicine that looks at the person as a whole and tries to help the body get back to optimal balance. Some of the treatment protocols are designed to help the person adjust the root causes and branch symptoms together, and this works well with traditional pharmaceutical treatments the person may be working with from other physicians. It is a more "Team Mom" approach. READ MORE
