Hypothyroidism is most common in women, particularly as they are approaching menopause, but men get it too.
Everyone’s experience is different, and you don’t have to have all of the above mentioned symptoms. Most cases have a combination of some of the symptoms.
It is important to notice that common diagnostic tests (TSH, T3, T4) have a wide “normal” range. The severity of symptoms often, but not always, correlates with the test results. Some people can have bothersome symptoms with their test results still in the “normal” range.
In the United States, the number one cause of low thyroid function is autoimmune. Daily diet, gastro-intestinal health, and lifestyle directly affect our immune system. The health of the immune system determines the functioning of the thyroid, and the rest of the body. This is the reason why the thyroid replacement hormones as the only source of intervention does not bring relief for the most patients. The immune system, and all the things that affect the immune system (everything affects everything else) MUST be addressed.
Our unique treatment approach is based on complementing the knowledge of Traditional East Asian Medicine with the latest scientific advances of Functional Nutritional Therapy.
Our goal is to:
- analyze your symptoms
- help you feel better
- make your body stronger
- improve your quality of life
- improve your blood test levels

Why our natural treatments work so well?
- We focus on how you feel - not just the numbers
While the test results are an important indicator, we are aware that they don’t necessarily correlate to the level of your discomfort. We focus on YOU, your story, and how you feel.
Are you sleeping better and feeling more energy?
Are you thinking more clearly?
Do you enjoy your life more?
Your quality of life is our focus.
- We address the Branch (Biao) and the Root (Ben) cause of a disease
What does this mean?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) teaches us that the same symptoms in different people do not necessarily have the same cause, and should not be treated the same way.
For example, headaches can involve different areas of the head, can have many different causes, can manifest alone or accompanied by nausea, aura, sensitivity to light, and so on. We treat each combination differently, with the goal to address the current pain AND the primary cause. Treating just the symptoms of a disease gives some relief, but usually does not stop them from recurring and becoming chronic.
We determine and treat the actual root cause of your health issues using the principles of TCM. This approach is different from focusing exclusively on your current lab results although we do analyze and address those as well.
This is why so many have found relief with our therapies, after other therapies didn't work.
- Our approach always includes stress reduction
Stress is often a key component in thyroid disease. We teach you simple ways to enhance sleep and relaxation which supports your body’s natural healing system. By stimulating the body’s various systems, acupuncture can help to reduce stress, improve sleep, and sense of well-being.*
- We use an all natural approach not offered by conventional medicine
We find that people who don't respond well to conventional treatment often respond very well to our natural therapy.
In many cases our therapies can offer relief when there aren't conventional treatments available.
We offer natural alternatives to drugs and surgeries for many conditions.
- We awaken your body's own healing system
Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on the observation that, given the right assistance, the body has an innate ability to heal, repair and recover itself. It makes its own anti-inflammatory substances, hormones, neurotransmitters...
Our Treatment Plan includes acupuncture treatment modalities combined with herbal medicine and/or functional nutritional supplements, appropriate diet, adequate rest, meditation and exercise. It is designed to boost your immune system and optimize your body’s natural abilities to restore health.
- We keep it simple
Feeling better and improving your thyroid function does not have to be difficult, and often does not take a long time. Simple, targeted lifestyle and diet changes, along with our natural therapies, are a very clear and concise way to address the problem. Most patients often see improved energy and mood soon after the start of the therapy.
Common Questions
How do acupuncture and herbs help with hormonal balance?
Acupuncture improves the communication between your nervous and endocrine systems, enhances circulation to specific glands and tissues that support hormone secretion, and dramatically reduces stress – all of which benefit your overall hormonal state.
Herbal medicines have been used for hormonal issues for centuries. They restore depleted glands, balance your endocrine system, reduce inflammation and have many other positive effects on your endocrine function.

How do you treat thyroid issues with natural medicine?
The subtle nature of the endocrine system responds very well to acupuncture, herbs, nutritional therapy, and mind-body medicine. Practice shows that many women’s health issues are much better suited to our form of therapy than more aggressive techniques like pharmaceuticals or surgery.

Will your treatment interfere with my medication?
We always review medications before making treatment recommendations to make sure that there are no contraindications. Often times treatments help your medication work better!

Are there any side effects?
Some people are more sensitive than others. Slight bruising and/or mild soreness where needles were inserted might happen. It is extremely rare, and resolves quickly on its own. We practice gentle technique, and use small, specially designed painless needles of the highest quality.
Bruising is expected after cupping and gua-sha, but resolves completely on its own in a few days. It is a part of the healing process associated with these techniques.
There are many “positive” side effects such as calmer mood, better sleep, better digestion, increased relaxation, and a more positive attitude and outlook.

Does it hurt?
We practice gentle technique, and use small, specially designed painless needles of the highest quality. They are so thin that you can fit at least 10 of them into a typical hypodermic syringe.
Some people are more sensitive than others, but most often the insertion is barely perceptible.
Most patients find acupuncture treatments extremely relaxing, so much so that they are looking forward to their rejuvenating "acupuncture nap".

Are the needles safe?
Absolutely! Acupuncturists are required to follow OSHA standards and only sterile, single-use disposable needles are used. Patients are assured that there is no transmission of communicable diseases.

Do I have to “believe” in acupuncture for it to work?
Eastern medicine, whether dealing with acupuncture, herbal formulas or both, is no more faith-based than Western medicine. Animals have been successfully treated by acupuncture and herbal medicine, and they don't have any beliefs.
The biggest factor in success or failure is how motivated our patients are to keeping their appointments, taking the prescribed supplements, and, last but not least, making the recommended diet and lifestyle changes.
