ALMLOFF ACUPUNCTURE - NEWPORT NEWS

Herbal medicine is an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and closely mirrors the principles used to treat patients using acupuncture. Use of herbs as part of TCM was first documented more then 2, 500 years ago, though such practices probably originated earlier. Chinese herbs are commonly used in conjunction with acupuncture but can be prescribed alone (e.g., for children or others who do not want to have acupuncture treatments.).

Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of medicine in the world. There is evidence of its use dating back 5000 years. Since then, it has been a primary healing modality for much of the eastern world.

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology have been used to treat infertility as early as the Shang dynasty (1500-1000 BC). It provides a safe, effective, drug-free and natural approach toward the conception of a healthy pregnancy. Rather than just treat the infertility symptoms the acupuncture activates the body’s natural healing potential by treating the root cause that had lead to the infertility. Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology is a natural therapy, no drugs are ever used. Thereby eliminating the undesired side effects and accumulated toxicity that can occur from invasive procedures and drug therapies.

Generally it takes a minimum of three months and often six, to correct the underlying imbalance. Weekly acupuncture treatments along with herbal remedies are important. If a woman misses an appointment during a monthly cycle, an opportunity has been lost for that particular cycle. Diet, exercise, stress and personal habits are examined. Recommendations are made to improve one’s lifestyle which will increase the potential for success.
