Will my herbal medicine remedy work on the first try?
Sometimes, but not always. Some trial and error is to be anticipated in the initial prescription. Matching a formula to your situation is akin to a “lock and key”. The perfect formula opens up the solution for your problem.

How often do you recommend an acupuncture treatment?
The frequency of your acupuncture treatments will be directly related to the severity of the issue we are addressing.
For example, if your problem is acute and severe, treatments might be as frequent as every two days until resolved.
-
You say you practice a “gentle” style of acupuncture. Is it still effective?
Yes. My gentle approach does not compromise the quality or effectiveness of acupuncture treatment, and actually enhances it.
By focusing on gentleness and a “less is more” philosophy, I can create a more comfortable and relaxing experience for my client. This reduces the potential for discomfort during the treatment, making it easier for the client to remain relaxed and receptive to the therapeutic effects. A gentler approach often allows the body to respond more naturally and positively, promoting a smoother flow of energy, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the treatment.
-
Are there any side effects to taking herbs?
The most common side effect is digestive. Allergic reactions are rare.
Digestive side effects may include some distention, bloating, or loosing of stool. These side effects usually pass as your body adjusts to the new substance you are taking.
