Acupuncturist, Herbalist, Holistic Nutritionist

62 million Americans are affected by digestive ailments on an ongoing basis.

Are you one of them?

Digestive problems affect our daily lives and take away from our quality and happiness in life.  Acupuncture and herbal medicine can address these issues.  Our society is fraught with malabsorption (the body's inability to absorb nutrients), high body acidity, bacteria, yeast, candida, fungus, and parasites.

Eight out of 10 patients that I treat report either constipation or diarrhea on a regular basis.  Many patients visit my clinic for:

•Acid reflux

•nausea

•irritable bowel syndrome

•Crohn's disease

•bloating and gas

•ulcerative colitis

•weight gain

•bacterial or yeast issues not identified in Western medicine

•digestive problems related to stress and fatigue

•nutritional recommendations

How can this be in our technologically advanced world?   The problem starts with our food sources depleted in nutrition.  It's more convenient to reach for vitamin and mineral tablets than it is to take the time to eat more wholesome foods. 

We now know we can no longer drink tap water.  Our meat is raised on steroids, and antibiotics, and harmful chemicals are used to “fatten” the stock.

We are too busy.  We are too stressed.  These combinations of issues are causing our digestive functions to deteriorate and malfunction from generation to generation.  More and more children and adults are gluten and dairy intolerant and must avoid these foods completely.

A weak digestive system leads to more allergies and sensitivities. Many adults eat plainly and simply as their symptoms cannot tolerate spicy, fibrous, acidic or greasy foods.  Food choices are limited.

A high percentage of our population regularly ingests prescribed pharmaceutical medications which also alter our body's ability to function properly and put stress on our liver and kidneys.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine can holistically restore our bodies.  It can work in conjunction with Western medical protocols but addresses more variety and aspects.   A good digestive system is the key to proper absorption of nutrients. 

We treat the root cause of the problem so that the liver, stomach, small intestine and kidneys can properly absorb, transform into energy, transport and properly distribute the nutrients we need for our “ daily fuel”. 

Traditional Chinese medicine also addresses overwork issues, lifestyle, balance, exercise, and the importance of good nutrition as part of the treatment plan.

We will  review your medical history. I will explain how your signs and symptoms can be treated and we will design and discuss your treatment plan.

I want to help you live a more quality and happier life by restoring your gastrointestinal functions.
