Autoimmune

Autoimmune conditions leave a trail of frustration, pain, and dysfunction.  Sometimes it feels like the harder you fight, the worse you feel.  It takes expertise with specific training to know how to proceed without causing excessive flare-ups.  My doctorate training in Classical Chinese Medicine heavily focused on autoimmunity, called "Gu Syndrome" in Chinese medicine.  My mentor is world-renowned Heiner Fruehauf, whose line of herbal formulas focuses mainly on autoimmune conditions. These are the formulas that are primarily used in my clinic.

After treating hundreds of autoimmune patients, I have developed a three stage program to address the ever-changing patterns that present with these cases.  This program relies heavily on herbal formulas, which may frequently be changed as the symptoms change.  

My acupuncture protocol is also extremely responsive to your changing needs.  

My autoimmunity treatments initially emphasize reducing inflammation states and calming tension.  Once the inflammation has greatly subsided, we move into repair and nourish mode.
