Women's Health

Acupuncture and herbs can help achieve balance for women who suffer from menstrual disturbances such as painful, absent or irregular periods and pre-menstrual symptoms. Oriental Medicine is also effective in easing symptoms associated with the menopausal transition, as well as assisting in birth preparation and post-partum recovery. Acupuncture is also effective for conditions like migraines which tend to affect women more than men.

Stress Management

Stress is a major factor in modern lifestyles. In and of itself, stress can make us moody, irritable and depressed. It can also initiate or aggravate many other physical conditions such as headaches, PMS, hypertension, indigestion, constipation, and the list goes on.

Oriental Medicine is an ideal therapy for all kinds of stress conditions. When we are healthy and in balance, our bodies can cope with stressful conditions and situations without generating pathological, emotional or physical problems. Oriental Medicine's fundamental aim is to restore balance to our bodies, which allows our bodies to heal from existing diseases and become resistant and resilient when faced with stress and stressful situations.

Pain Management

Acupuncture is renowned for its ability to soothe or eliminate pain all over the body. It is a gentle, minimally invasive approach without the risks and side affects which can accompany pharmaceutical drugs and surgical interventions. Acupuncture is so effective in treating pain that many MDs have learned very basic acupuncture techniques which they incorporate in their practices.

Compared to MDs who typically learn acupuncture in weekend seminars, Doctors of Oriental Medicine have thousands of hours of study and clinical training, allowing us to effectively treat not just the pain itself but the underlying imbalance which is at the root of the pain.

Get relief for your allergies with Chinese Medicine

If you are one of the many people here in Albuquerque who suffer from seasonal allergies, you should consider acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Both can be highly effective in minimizing the symptoms of acute flare-ups as well as tonifying your body's immune system in between seasons to prevent or reduce acute onset.

Allergies in Chinese Medicine are generally considered to result from a deficiency of Lung qi combined with an accumulation of phlegm. This constitutional situation leaves the body vulnerable to external pathogens which themselves cause the acute symptoms associated with allergies.

During an acute situation, we use herbs and a series of acupuncture treatments to relieve the symptoms and expel the external pathogens. In between flare-ups we focus on herbal treatment and food therapy with occasional acupuncture to tonify the Lung qi and reduce the phlegm accumulation.
