The two together enhance the effects of your treatment, separate they are great but together the effect is unmatched! See More…

  • Chinese herbs are one of the five branches of TCM. Many drugs listed as conventional medicine were derived from plants. Most herbal formulas, some of them thousands of years old, are created to help the body become balanced so that it can function at full capacity, rather than merely masking symptoms. Chinese herbs treat the underlying condition and rarely cause unwanted side effects. In addition, most Chinese herbs can be taken safely with pharmaceutical medications.

“Melissa is incredible, she is the only health care professional that I have worked with that I feel actually cares about my entire picture of health, mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. She is a good listener and full of empathy and compassion. I am so lucky to have found her and look forward to the years to come with her as my acupuncturist.”
