Can acupuncture help in relieving my mother's depression?
YES!! Please try it with her. I have seen great improvement with acupuncture and Chinese herbals. Some patients take both. Some stay away from herbs b/c of certain medications they are taking. For some patients, it can take a series of treatments. It's best to consult a licensed acupuncturist in person. If $$ is an issue, I'd also recommend looking for a local acupuncture school. Be well, Alan Schroepfer, LAc READ MORE
Does acupuncture help in treating depression?
YES. Yes. yes. Bring her for acupuncture. It has proven very useful in treating depression. There are also easy to take herbals that can be very helpful. Of course, I can't say how much or how often. I'd consider giving it at least 1-3 months of treatments. All the best on caring for your daughter. Aloha, Alan Schroepfer, LAc READ MORE
My wife has no drive for sex. Will acupuncture be able to help at all?
Hi, It is hard to say whether acupuncture will help or not with sex drive without getting a health history. However, acupuncture and herbal medicine may be a very helpful depending on the situation. The biggest challenges are other health conditions or concerns that may be affecting sex drive. My suggestions are to send your wife in for an initial health consult and acupuncture treatment for a full evaluation and treatment plan. I certainly hope this information helps. Aloha, Alan Schroepfer, LAc READ MORE
Will I have to get acupuncture throughout my life?
Hi, While some people end up benefitting/enjoying acupuncture & Oriental medicine, thus so receiving it throughout their life, it is NOT required to continue forever. It's about finding balance in the body & feeling better. That could be a one time treatment or a series of sessions. It's difficult to say how long it could take with out meeting you in person & seeing your health history. However, if acupuncture works for you, you just might find yourself coming back for more. Please remember, we're not all the same. Ask about credentials and other training & experience. Look for the one that is right for you. Be well, Alan Schroepfer, LAc READ MORE
