Can acupuncture help treat thyroid imbalance?
A thyroid imbalance is viewed as an imbalance that affects the entire body, and therefore, the whole body must be treated to help relieve the signs and symptoms associated with thyroid conditions. As effective as acupuncture can be in such cases, the effectiveness of food therapy and herbal formulas are just as important. In Chinese medicine, we view food as medicine, with medicinal properties that can heal us. An acupuncturist who is also an herbalist can help figure out the correct foods and formulas that you need in order to bring your body back into balance. READ MORE
