Treatment Protocols & Clinical Information 

Licensed Acupuncturists treat diseases and patterns according to the principles of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) or Traditional Asian Medicine.  We are the only licensed practitioners where herbal medicine is written into our scope of practice. It is a medicine based on pattern differentiation.  It is not “one herbal formula for one disease" but rather "one disease with many formulas to treat it" based upon how the disease manifests in each individual. 

Please do not share these resources with untrained patients or other types of practitioners. Even the ones with "stages" of the disease are guidelines and not absolute. It does our years of training a disservice to put out information implying that you can use a single document to treat the complex interplay of disease and constitution.
