Her approach was gentle and calming, and the acupuncture treatment made that disturbing presence in my body disappear. After experiencing so much relief from the first problem, I returned to Jessica for treatment of my foot pain which had started 4 months before. After the first treatment it felt 80% better, and by the second treatment the pain was gone. Thanks Jessica – I’m a believer!
About Chinese Herbs
Used frequently in combination with acupuncture treatments, Chinese Herbal Medicine is quickly establishing itself as one of the most popular and effective alternative therapies in the West.
The Chinese Herbal Pharmacopia includes over 1500 herbs mostly from plants, flowers, roots and barks. Individual herbs are usually combined with each other into unique and individual formulas specific for each case. Ingesting the herbs mixed together into a formula not only minimizes any unpleasant effects of individual herbs, but also maximizes the benefits by targeting the exact disharmony for each different case.
When prescribed and used correctly, Chinese Herbal Medicine is very safe. It is important to work with a qualified herbalist who can prescribe an appropriate formula, monitor progress, and adjust the ingredients and dosages depending on changes in each case at different stages along the healing process.
