Adrenal Fatigue/ Chronic Fatigue

If your fatigue is associated with stress, insomnia, mild depression or other known causes, treatments with Chinese medicine could give you more energy and correct the underlying cause of fatigue. Many patients with this diagnosis may find relief with the combination of Chinese herbs, acupuncture and dietary changes prescribed by our licensed acupuncturist.

Asthma, hay fever, eczema, insomnia, and digestive problems can all stem from underlying allergies and can be treated with acupuncture and Chinese herbs. There are increasing clinical evidences support that acupuncture treatment is effective for various immunological diseases. Moreover, Chinese medicine focuses on preventing diseases through prevention before the onset of the diseases or intervening in an early stage of diseases rather than treating after the onset.
