Did you know that there are many styles of acupuncture, so not all are the same?

The most common form seen in the US, and even in China, is TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Contrary to popular belief, TCM is not thousands of years old! TCM is a form of acupuncture that came out of the westernization & standardization of acupuncture, when acupuncture was re-introduced into China in the 1940's (it was banned in China for a period of time). So when people say that TCM is 4000-5000 years old, this isn't true. Now, acupuncture is that old, but not TCM. Here's a great site with an accurate history of acupuncture..

So why am I pointing this out? Well, the style that I do - Classical True Acupuncture - brings back the ancient practices of acupuncture - the truly point-by-point individualized approach. With the different styles, one isn't better or worse per se, but I find that using the classical pulse diagnostics to truly understand YOU and why you're feeling the pain or fatigue that you're feeling, and then using each point to bring your pulses back to balance gets remarkable and longer lasting results. We all want to feel great, and stay that way right?

Acupuncture is effective in treating pain, symptoms of menopause, PMS, infertility, fatigue, fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety, headaches & migraines, insomnia, digestive issues, rashes, and the list goes on and on. So when you get acupuncture, you need to be treated as the unique individual you are!

I encourage everyone to read more about acupuncture, the different kinds, and realize that your fatigue or depression is different from someone else's fatigue or depression. Acupuncture brings your body back into homeostasis, but can only do that if a practitioner knows how to follow your pulses.

Stay healthy!
