Herbal Acupuncture

What do Herbal Acupuncture Specialists Do?

Herbal acupuncture involves combining the traditional therapy of acupuncture and herbal medicine. Both acupuncture and herbal remedies date back to ancient times. Acupuncture originates from China while herbal healing was used all over the world. The combination of herbs and acupuncture has been used for thousands of years. It is said that by combining these two therapies, more effective results are obtained as they enhance each other. If you are looking for alternative medical treatment it is important that you seek out a qualified and licensed practitioner.

A practitioner should carry out a full in-depth evaluation. The specialist will conduct an in-depth interview with you regarding your symptoms and goals. They will also do a bodily examination. After you have been thoroughly evaluated, the practitioner will devise a treatment program that will combine acupuncture and herbs to best address your issues. The strategic placement of needles is the basis of acupuncture and is used to treat hundreds of issues. Common uses for acupuncture include weight loss, detoxification, pain relief and the breaking of addictions.

Alongside acupuncture, your practitioner may suggest a herbal treatment plan. He or she may actually provide you with tea, tincture, capsules or fresh herbs to use. Or, he or she may just give you detailed instructions to take to your local health food or herb shop. Some practitioners who are qualified to do so may make their own special blends customized to each of their clients. Before using any kind of herbal remedy, consult with your physician as herbs can interact with prescription and over the counter medications. If your doctor is not qualified to offer advice regarding herbs, consult with a licensed herbal practitioner.

You must always do your research and choose a practitioner who has experienced and suitably qualified. You may want to interview several different practitioners to find the one you are most comfortable with. It is important that you feel at ease and confident with the person you choose to perform your acupuncture and herbal healing. Ask questions and take notes when at your consultations. This will make it easier to compare information later when you are ready to decide.
