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.
-
Is acupuncture more commonly used to treat ailments or for health maintenance?
I more frequently administer acupuncture to treat specific ailments as opposed to general health maintenance, however this is not a hard and fast rule.
Many of my clients keep monthly or bi-monthly acupuncture appointments as a component of proactively managing their health.
-
What are the principles of traditional East Asian medicine?
Practitioners of traditional East Asian medicine (TEAM) view the body as a unified and connected whole, utilizing different world views that include Ki / Qi, Yin and Yang, and meridians.
TEAM practitioners, like myself, acknowledge and understand that a) there are other approaches to health and healing that developed prior to modern/Western medical understanding, and b) that these approaches were and are still effective and relevant.
-
What happens during my Zen Shiatsu session?
Every Zen Shiatsu session differs depending on the needs and issues of the client I am working with.
However, there are common phases that occur, which you can learn about by reading my article, “What to Expect During a Zen Shiatsu Treatment”.
-
Can I explore herbal medicine on my own?
I strongly discourage exploring herbal medicine without professional input.
In order to determine which herbs are best for your needs, I will inquire about your ailment and your lifestyle to better understand your body as a whole.
The formulas and herbs discussed in our sessions are part of a much larger system. They may be appropriate for certain individuals who suffer from the conditions described, but are not necessarily the best choice for everyone in that situation.
-
How long are your sessions?
Appointment times are scheduled for 1 hour, with longer 75-minute initial sessions for acupuncture and herbal consultations.
