Chinese Medicine & Hormonal Imbalances:

Feeling exasperated, frustrated, helpless, apathetic and/or exhausted? Maybe it's not "all in your head." There may be a physical basis for your moods. Women's hormonal imbalances are often treated as diseases. It may be that your body systems are out of balance. These imbalances, if left unchecked, can often result in a variety of symptoms and signs normally associated with a Western diagnosis. When these imbalances are corrected you can feel like yourself again.

Chinese Medicine can help!

Reducing Cravings: Balancing the body's systems reduces cravings.
Stress Reduction: Acupuncture neutralizes the effect of cortisol, the "stress hormone" known to alter metabolism.
Organ Support: Acupuncture optimizes the digestive process so that food becomes energy rather than storing it as fat. Emotional issues may have their sources in the liver or adrenal glands.
Customized Care: Probably the most important service an acupuncturist provides is to assess a woman's body type, lifestyle and unique imbalances and formulate a customized treatment plan. In this way, your acupuncturist can get results where other methods have failed. You will discover what works for you.

Testimonials:

I tried to get pregnant for a couple of years withno success. The doctors said i had unexplained infertility and did not have much to offer me. I came to Shasta and she diagnosed me with deficient kidney and liver energy with deficient blood. I was so sad as it seemed as if everyone else around me was getting pregnant and not me. Shasta said I needed to " fatten up a little and calm down my nervous system". After about three months of regular treatments and following her fertility nutrition advice I was sleeping better,felt calmer and had fewer headaches I also gained a few much needed pounds and my cycles became more regular with much less pain. Within about six or more months I was finally able to conceive and now have a beautiful healthy baby boy!!!
