Q2: How many sessions will I need? A: It depends on your condition and how long you’ve had it. Acute issues may improve in 3–6 sessions, while chronic conditions often require 8–12+ sessions for lasting results. We create a customized treatment plan after the first visit. Q3: Are Chinese herbs safe? A: Yes, when prescribed by a licensed herbalist. We use high-quality, GMP-certified herbs and carefully tailor formulas to your specific pattern and constitution, avoiding unwanted side effects. Q4: Can I combine acupuncture with Western medicine?

A: We are in-network with several major insurance plans. Please contact us with your insurance details so we can verify coverage before your visit. Q6: What should I expect during my first visit?
