Services
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use fine needles to stimulate specific points along meridians, promoting qi and blood flow. This ancient practice addresses hormonal imbalances, chronic pain, stress, and various health conditions by restoring the body's natural equilibrium. Patients receive customized treatment plans based on individual health goals and constitutional needs.
Herbal Therapy
Custom herbal formulations complement acupuncture treatments to address specific health concerns. We prescribe both classical Chinese herbal formulas and individualized blends to support hormonal regulation, immune function, and postpartum recovery. All herbs meet strict quality standards and are dispensed with clear usage instructions.
Fertility Support
Our fertility program combines acupuncture, herbal medicine, and nutritional counseling to optimize reproductive health for both partners. Treatments focus on improving ovarian function, uterine lining quality, and hormonal balance while reducing stress during assisted reproductive technologies like IVF and IUI cycles.
Pregnancy Care
Specialized prenatal acupuncture addresses common pregnancy discomforts including morning sickness, back pain, and anxiety. We provide weekly support during the final month to prepare for labor, help correct breech presentation, and promote smooth delivery while ensuring complete safety for both mother and baby.
Postpartum Care
Our postpartum recovery program uses acupuncture and herbal therapy to address fatigue, mood imbalances, and physical recovery after childbirth. Treatments support breastfeeding success, thyroid function, and emotional well-being during the critical fourth trimester transition period.
