Solutions for

Chronic Illness

If Western prescriptions are not working, or are causing unwanted side-effects, acupuncture and herbal therapy can be a gentle alternative. Chinese medicine can help people find relief from many chronic health disorders, such as: 

• allergies
• anxiety 
• autoimmune disorders
• depression
• fatigue
• gastro-intestinal problems
• respiratory disease 
• sinusitis 

Acupuncture and herbal medicine has been used for thousands of years to treat, and to alleviate, symptoms of chronic health problems. Its results are based on getting to the root of the disorder, instead of only treating the symptoms. Often, Western medications can only provide short term relief. Or, it can create more unwanted symptoms. Traditional Chinese Medicine is often more gentle, yet still very effective.
