What do Herbal Acupuncture Specialists Do?

Herbal acupuncture is the combination of acupuncture and herbal remedies for the maximum benefit of the patient. Both therapies are ancient, dating back to B.C. times. While herbal healing was used all over the world, acupuncture was mostly used in China for many years before spreading to other nations. The combination of herbs and acupuncture is nothing new. Practitioners have been combining the two for thousands of years. Herbs and acupuncture can enhance each other and offer even more effective results. It is important to receive these therapies from someone who is licensed and qualified to offer them.

When you see a specialist in this area, the first thing that will happen is an in-depth evaluation. Your practitioner will conduct an in-depth interview with you regarding your symptoms and goals. They will also do a bodily examination. After you have been thoroughly evaluated, the practitioner will devise a treatment program that will combine acupuncture and herbs to best address your issues. The strategic placement of needles is the basis of acupuncture and is used to treat hundreds of issues. Common uses for acupuncture include weight loss, detoxification, pain relief and the breaking of addictions.

After your acupuncture session your practitioner may provide you with an herbal treatment plan. He or she may actually provide you with tea, tincture, capsules or fresh herbs to use. Or, he or she may just give you detailed instructions to take to your local health food or herb shop. Some practitioners who are qualified to do so may make their own special blends customized to each of their clients. Before using any kind of herbal remedy, consult with your physician as herbs can interact with prescription and over the counter medications. If your doctor is not qualified to offer advice regarding herbs, consult with a licensed herbal practitioner.

When seeking herbal acupuncture specialists, do your research and choose a practitioner who has a great deal of experience and the proper credentials. You may want to interview several different practitioners to find the one you are most comfortable with. It is important that you feel at ease and confident with the person you choose to perform your acupuncture and herbal healing. Ask questions and take notes when at your consultations. This will make it easier to compare information later when you are ready to decide.
