  • Can acupunture decrease my body weight?

    Yes, acupuncture may help reduce weight by increasing the distribution and absorption of nutrients throughout the body and decreasing cravings due to too much stress, anxiety or depression, and by helping the body to maintain homeostasis. READ MORE

  • Can acupuncture help in relieving my mother's depression?

    Acupuncture can help with mild to medium intensity of depression. If she is extremely depressed where she is not able to function and live a normal life, or if she is in risk of hurting herself or other people, then she may also need the support of a psychologist. Most depressed people can be helped with acupuncture and herbal medicine. READ MORE

  • Does acupuncture help in treating depression?

    Acupuncture and herbs may help your daughter feel much better. I am currently helping an adolescent with depression, and she's feeling better. If she has a lot of emotional turmoil and acupuncture does not seem to be helping within a reasonable period of time (about 10-12 acupuncture sessions), then look for a psychologist. I recommend a psychologist who uses cognitive therapy since according to many studies, this is the most effective psychological therapy for depression. READ MORE

  • Is acupuncture helpful in boosting fertility?

    This is definitely true. Acupuncture is very effective to treat infertility, irregular periods, PMS, hormonal imbalances, and even PSOS and endometriosis. Usually, your acupuncturist will also recommend the use of herbal medicine to help with the process. READ MORE

  • My wife has no drive for sex. Will acupuncture be able to help at all?

    Acupuncture may help regulate hormonal imbalances and increase libido. Also, if the cause is anxiety or depression, acupuncture may help. However, there may be problems in the relationship that acupuncture will not be able to fix. You may first want to find out your wife's reasons for the lack of interest in sex. READ MORE

  • Is acupuncture a long-term treatment?

    The length of treatment in acupuncture depends on several factors. Generally speaking, an acute problem can be fixed sooner than a chronic one. It also has to do with the person's commitment to the treatments and his/her life-style. READ MORE

  • Does acupuncture require other medicines to be effective?

    Acupuncture is a wholistic medicine. Therefore, it does not require any other medicine to be effective. However, herbal medicine is used as a complementary medicine by acupuncture practitioners to speed up the process of healing. Depending on the condition treated, sometimes it is also desirable to seek the support of Western medicines such as laboratory testing, and expert medical advise. In some cases, a combination of Western medicine and acupuncture is very beneficial. READ MORE

  • Will I have to get acupuncture throughout my life?

    The number of visits needed to alleviate back pain (or any pain) is different for every person. It depends on how severe and how long you have had the pain, how often you get treated, and your life style. Generally speaking, the longer you have had the pain, the longer it will take to alleviate it. However, you don't need to make a lifelong commitment. If after a reasonable number of treatments (4-8 depending) you have not felt any difference in your pain, it may mean that the treatment is not working. In that case, you should talk to your acupuncturist about changing the treatment, referring you to someone else, or you should look for another acupuncturist. READ MORE

  • Can acupuncture treat my digestive disorders?

    Yes, acupuncture can help with digestive problems by regulating the metabolism and the digestive functions. Often, digestive disorders are due to stress, and acupuncture is very effective to relieve the symptomatology because it acts at the level of the autonomic nervous system. Usually, acupuncturists also prescribe natural medicine to support their treatments. Combined, acupuncture and herbs are very effective to regulate the digestive system. READ MORE

  • Is it advisable to take acupuncture treatment along with normal medication?

    There is no risk involved with acupuncture treatments if you are taking hypertension medication. Acupuncture will regulate your blood pressure whether it is high or low. With time, your doctor may be able to decrease the frequency and strength of the medication. READ MORE

  • Should acupuncture be a long term thing?

    Acupuncture is great for stress relief. If you have a very stressful life, as most people do, you will feel much calmer and will be able to function better if you get acupuncture treatments regularly. In ancient times, acupuncture was used more as a preventive than curative medicine. It will not cause any adverse side effects. READ MORE

  • My mother in law feels very sleepy all through the day. Can acupuncture help her?

    If your mother-in-law feels sleepy throughout the day, it may be due to various factors. The best way to find out if acupuncture can help her would be to have her evaluated by a licensed acupuncturist. Best regards, Emma McKenzie, L.Ac. READ MORE
