Understanding and Using Chinese Medicine

Welcome! This blog is intended to help you learn about acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, and how to use it to take care of your own health.

If you have a specific health concern, you can browse through the categories on the right, or use the search function to find relevant articles. These posts include suggestions, such as diet, exercise, herbal teas, and acupressure, that you can use to take care of your own health — as well as information about how Chinese medicine views and treats these conditions. I also recommend the health tips in the Seasonal Advice category!

For more general information about acupuncture and herbs, you can find a lot of good info in the About Chinese Medicine section, and on the rest of the site as well. Some recommendations:

  • If you’re wondering if acupuncture is good for your situation: Is This You? and Conditions Treated.
  • If you want to know more about how Chinese medicine works, and how it’s different from Western medicine: How it Works.
  • For more about what it’s like to get acupuncture, check out Treatment Process.

I’d love to hear what’s on your mind, so please feel free to leave a comment or question on the blog, or contact me directly.

Thanks for visiting my site!
