Many people come to me not with a single condition, but with a series of issues.
Chronic fatigue and low energy, catching every cold that goes around, seasonal allergies and sinus congestion, or a slow recovery after an illness that the body never quite finished. Others simply want to stay well - prevention is one of Traditional Chinese Medicine's oldest jobs.
TCM has a rich framework for this territory. Classical medicine describes a defensive layer of energy at the body's surface — Wei Qi — and a deeper constitutional reserve that daily life draws on. When either runs low, the result is the familiar picture of tiredness, susceptibility, and slow bounce-back that blood work often can't explain. If you've been told your tests are normal but you still don't feel like yourself, this is the gap where this medicine works.
Treatment typically combines acupuncture with moxibustion — gentle warming of specific points, particularly suited to fatigue and cold-sensitive constitutions — and a herbal formula built for your pattern. For seasonal allergies, treatment a few weeks ahead of your usual season tends to be more effective than starting mid-flare.
What to expect: energy and immunity shift gradually rather than overnight. A typical course runs weekly for several weeks, then spaces out to monthly maintenance — which is also the natural rhythm for prevention-focused care through the change of seasons.
