Herbal Medicinals and You
Most Chinese herbal medicines are combinations of 3 or more herbs; sometimes 10 or more in a single prescription. The specific combination of herbs provides the optimal effect on a particular organ or condition.

Herbal medicine may include vegetable, animal, and mineral ingredients, but most are derived from vegetable sources. Leaves, flowers, stems, roots, tubers, rhizomes, and bark are among the parts of vegetables used.

Herbal pills or extracts are usually taken on an empty stomach 30 minutes before or 1 to 2 hours after eating. They are most effective swallowed with warm water since cold drinks inhibit the digestive function of the stomach. Usually, the herbs can be taken with Western medications or vitamins together.

Recovering From Surgery?
The therapeutic massage treatment of lymphatic drainage massage is prescribed by many doctors after cosmetic surgery and other surgical procedures to ensure the patient gets the best possible results from their surgery with positive future health outcomes.

Cosmetic surgery patients will find that lymphatic massage can greatly increase recovery time with a reduction in swelling and visible bruising. For patients with post-cancer surgery complications, it is critical to receive treatment from a practitioner who has experience working with these types of conditions. Post-surgery treatment reduces inflammation, rids the body of waste from the surgery, and keeps swelling and discomfort to a minimum.

Client Testimonial
I was referred to Acupuncture by Andrea by my dentist. I had a severely dislocated jaw that had troubled me for six months with no relief in sight. My jaw was locked in a shut position, and I was on a strict liquid diet because I could not chew or open my mouth. In time, I was able to move it a little so I had to cut my food into baby bite size pieces and then push the food into my mouth because I was unable to open my mouth more than half an inch.

I grew up in finishing schools and was taught Emily Post table etiquette manners. I would not go out in public to eat because of how I had to eat. It was just too embarrassing if someone saw me. Nor would I allow anyone at home see me eating.

I contacted Acupuncture by Andrea and we had a phone consultation. I explained to her my problems with my jaw and my symptoms and she immediately felt she would be able to provide me with relief. I had never experienced acupuncture before. I knew of it, but not of its magical effects on the body.

On my first visit with Acupuncture by Andrea, she was wonderful and made me feel very, very comfortable about the treatment I was about to receive. She even went into details on how and why it works. It was very interesting and fascinating learning as I was getting treatments.

The office has such a relaxing and soothing atmosphere, and I find the treatments to be the same. It never fails that I doze off during her treatments even though I come in at 9am after a full night’s sleep!

My frozen shut jaw is now back to normal. I truly never believed I would be able to say that. Before Acupuncture by Andrea, I had contacted many doctors who felt the solution was to break my jaw, wire it back together until it healed and HOPE that would fix it. I actually thought that would be my life going forward, frozen shut jaw and liquid diets. Until Acupuncture by Andrea.

She also healed an old scar tissue build up from 40 years ago. Never thought that ache would go away either. Now I’m having Dr. Danti work on some of my other issues like my severe sinus headaches and even bladder issues.

I don’t have insurance so all of these treatments have been “out of pocket“ for me. The affordability of her treatments is a blessing for those of us in need of her ongoing services and the relief they bring.

Can’t wait to try one of her massages!!

I will always seek out Acupuncture by Andrea and Dr. Danti as my first line of defense!
