Depression 

No two people suffer from depression the same way.  Eastern Medicine recognizes this so that the Acupuncturist will determine a treatment protocol that is specific to a patient’s needs.

Recently the National Institutes of Health funded a study on the effects of acupuncture on women suffering from  depression. The results of this study showed that Eastern Medicine was at least as effective as prescription medication, but without the negative side-effects of drugs.

When acupuncture is combined with herbal medicine, along with other lifestyle modifications, such as dietary changes the benefits can be even greater. The Eastern medical approach is very effective in treating depression because it not only addresses the symptoms that are associated with depression but also the root cause of this disorder.
