At The Medicine Tree, and in Five Element Acupuncture in particular, each individual is seen as an already complete set of the needed elements that when functioning at optimal capacity can heal existing imbalances in the body.

Imbalance can often manifest as emotional distress, poor sleep patterns, or anxiety and depression, among many others. The beauty of acupuncture is that relief from a particular issue can often be found after a finite number of treatments, usually 6-12 depending on your specific issue, how long it has been with you, usually weekly in the beginning and with occasional “tune-ups” thereafter. While your body cannot heal any chronic health issue overnight, acupuncture is a practice where many patients enjoy increased relaxation and sense of calm during and after the very first treatment.
