Anandini Wadera, Integrative Chinese Medicine
My goal is to cultivate a healthy relationship between the body, heart, and mind in order to enrich the quality of all years of life; to return and replenish lost function; and to empower women through all phases of womanhood.
Integrative chinese medicine approach
Chinese Medicine includes the use of acupuncture, herbal medicine, cups, moxibustion and tui na (Chinese massage) to treat a wide spectrum of ailments. Some common complaints for which Chinese Medicine is sought after are pain management, musculo-skeletal disharmonies, headache, infertility and women’s health. With that said, Chinese Medicine’s ability to increase the function of the immune system and promote the parasympathetic nervous system make it suitable for addressing autoimmune disorders, the common cold or flu, digestive health and other stress-induced complaints. It can manage PTSD and emotional imbalances, and the VA hospitals employ acupuncturists for this purpose and pain management. Every body is different and Chinese Medicine strives to customize a holistic approach to individual needs. Therefore, if someone comes in with headaches, the treatment may include acupuncture, herbal medicine and moxibustion for one person, but acupuncture and cups for another.
