Conditions
  

In the West, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) are often considered to be effective only for specific conditions such as muscular pain, for stopping smoking, for losing weight and, more recently, for boosting fertility.

In fact, these approaches are effective for a wide range of conditions, as acupuncture & CHM treatments focus on a person’s natural healing response, not on the illness itself. Acupuncture can also be used to prevent illnesses at times when the body is under stress - changes of season, emotional challenges, difficult life events - or when just feeling ‘not right’.

Clinical practice and clinical studies over many years have shown acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine’s effectiveness in helping a wide range of conditions, including the following:
