Acupuncture & herbal medicine decrease your discomfort, restore the function of your body, and bring back the quality of your life.
Long Term Illness
Acupuncture influences bodily functions by restoring normal qi, blood, and fluid flow. It aids in the treatment of chronic inflammation and the rebalancing of an overactive immune system.

FLU RECOVERY: fatigue, cough, weakness, digestive discomforts
LINGERING RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS: cough, fatigue, phlegm, congestion, shortness of breath
Surgical Recovery
Promote blood flow and nervous system health, which results in the release of healing hormones known as endorphins. Boost the immune system to help reduce inflammation and speed up the healing process.

Success Story: Anxiety
When I first stepped foot in the doors of Essential Acupuncture back in April, I was going through a terribly difficult time- experiencing anxiety and frequent panic attacks for the first time in my life. I was determined to find a natural treatment plan, and Leigh was exactly what I was looking for. She is caring, calming, nonjudgmental, and so knowledgeable about her field. She takes her time with me and truly customizes each treatment. Within a few weeks, she had me feeling grounded and back to my normal self.
