Acupuncture and Chinese herbs are very powerful tools used to treat a wide range of women’s health concerns. They effectively help with issues related to infertility and pregnancy, PMS, irregular menstrual cycles, and perimenopause and post-menopausal symptoms.
Because acupuncture is so soothing to the nervous system, it is also very commonly utilized for managing the effects that stress, anxiety and depression have on the body.
Children and adolescents typically respond well to acupuncture and Chinese herbs. They are very safe and gentle ways to promote overall health and wellbeing. This holistic route is very nourishing for young people and provides a drug-free approach to many health concerns.
For those worried about the utilization of acupuncture needles during a treatment, Shalee also offers press tacks as an option. They consist of very small needles attached to medical-grade tape and allow the patient to move without experiencing pain or altering the treatment. Shalee has a lot of experience working with kids as young as 7-years old and is very mindful of consent and bodily autonomy. It’s important to her that kids not only have a good experience with acupuncture, but that they have fun and are engaged in the process.
