Acupuncture and herbal medicine represent 2500 years of quality holistic health care. However, acupuncture and herbal medicine are considered “new” here in the United states. We would appreciate your telling your friends and relatives about the benefits of acupuncture and herbal medicine.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and vast amounts of research in China, the following conditions are all suitable for acupuncture treatment:

The above are only the disorders either identified by the WHO or considerable Chinese research treated by acupuncture. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including internal and external herbal medicine, Tui Na massage, moxibustion and oriental dietary therapy treat these conditions and many more. In addition, TCM not only seeks to treat disease but to improve health and vitality. It boosts the immune system, increases energy, helps preserve youth, and promotes longevity.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine are safe and without side effects. They treat both chronic and acute conditions.  Compared to modern western medicine, they are relatively inexpensive. They can often cure problems for which modern western medicine has no cure. In addition, your acupuncturist can counsel patients on diet, exercise, and lifestyle, thus providing comprehensive holistic care.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine have provided quality health care without side effects for 2500 years. We would appreciate your giving this information to those who you think would benefit from acupuncture. The best advertising is word of mouth referrals from satisfied patients.
