"So Oriental medicine’s really effective at working with medical problems that Western medicine really struggles with; and a classic example of that is migraines. Migraines is one of those things that people struggle with all the time. There are some medicines out there that help to some degree and there’s no cure for this in Western medicine. In Oriental medicine it’s a whole different thing. In Oriental medicine it’s about figuring out what kind of headache this person has because in Oriental medicine there’s about eight different types. So when you fill out that questionnaire and we ask you all those questions we get to figure out what really is the root cause of causing your particular migraines. So we can treat that with acupuncture we will frequently give herbs to help to support you during and between your treatments. So what people frequently notice is a mark and decrease in the frequency and intensity of their headaches. And I’ve had multiple people notice that their migraines, which they may have been completely debilitated before, are either completely gone or so infrequent that it’s actually not hand able and they don’t have to deal with their medication. And it’s most commonly the norm result that people end up with. So, I always tell people that if you are struggling with something like migraines or something that seems impossible to get rid of to talk to an Oriental medicine practitioner could change your whole life. Like what would be possible if you didn’t have those headaches. Like what would be possible if you didn’t have that condition which you put up with all the time if that wasn’t there. And migraines is one of the most common things that we deal with. "
