Acupuncture originated in China about 2,500 years ago and is still one of the oldest, and most commonly used systems of healing in the world.

Stimulating an acupuncture point is an energetic “nudge” to the body’s own healing intelligence. Each session sends a targeted message about how the body could function better.

The efficacy of acupuncture speaks for itself through its longevity. The Western world is just beginning to understand how acupuncture works in a way that satisfies the modern, western mind:

Investigations show that connective tissue winds around the needles, increasing electrical conductivity.

Doppler ultrasound shows that acupuncture increases blood flow and circulation.

MRI readings demonstrate that acupuncture makes changes in the brain that we can actually see.

Thermal imaging shows that acupuncture reduces inflammation.

In Terms of What We Do:

Promotes healing, offering a small electrical “nudge” to the body to bring back homeostasis and balance

Improves circulation in the body, which helps the body function more easily where needed

Decreases pain, interrupting pain signals and acting as natural pain relief

Balances body chemistry, influencing the body’s biochemical responses by way of the nervous system

Reduces inflammation, by decreasing pro-inflammatory markers or proteins.

When prescribed by a skilled and educated practitioner, Chinese herbs are a safe and natural treatment for many common health conditions.

Chinese herbal medicine is beautifully complex, just like the human body. The solution to a health condition is usually not as simple as “take this herb for that symptom.” Herbs are prescribed in the context of formulas, each formula containing 3 to 15 individual herbs working together..

Formulas are used to alleviate symptoms while simultaneously correcting the root imbalances that led to symptoms. This is what makes herbal medicine unique, and makes it a very common resource in treating so many of our patients at WomanCare Fertility and Wellness.

Quality Sourcing

The efficacy of an herbal formula depends both on the quality of herbs and the knowledge of the practitioner.. We will always source the highest quality herbs from reputable companies and growers to maintain purity and ensure efficacy. Our herbs are tested to ensure they’re free from contaminants. They do not contain any endangered species and are not tested on animals.

Change Is Good

Your body is always changing and your herbs should too. We will adjust your formulas as needed.

Recognizing the Mind-Body connection can help you function at your highest level. Utilizing just 3 simple steps will help you feel healthier, calmer and more empowered around every aspect of your life.

Step 1: Visualize

Your imagination is a phenomenal tool to “nudge”your body to make endorphins and other feel good ingredients.. What you picture in your mind, your body will manifest physically.

Step 2: Breathe

Breath is the link between conscious and subconscious. When you know how to control and guide your breathing, you gain complete control over your body.

Step 3: Meditate

Meditation is so much easier than you think. We teach you simple techniques that calm your body and mind which in turn will refresh your nervous system.

Without a doubt, Food is medicine. You will hear this over and over and over in our clinic. Food literally contains the building blocks your body uses every day to maintain, heal, and make more of you. Proper nutrition is a major foundation of any lasting good health. When your cells, glands, and tissues are given the nutrients they need, they will naturally function at a higher level, and you will feel amazing.

In a world filled with fads, trends, and contradictory information, we stand by this brilliant yet simple statement from food writer and researcher, Michael Pollan:

“Eat real food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”

This is the foundation of our clinical approach in treating our patients.. Along with the importance of proper and clean hydration with Water.

Practicing Chinese medicine includes a beautiful understanding of the energy of food, and everyone doesn't need to eat the same way. Your age and unique health history, the season, and your current health imbalances will together determine our dietary recommendations for you. Sometimes this means adding certain foods, sometimes it means removing them; sometimes the change is only temporary, other times it may need to be permanent.

Whatever your optimal dietary needs look like, you will be educated and supported in making the best food choices for your individual body, in your current state of health, with your unique health goals, at this amazing time of your life.
