Find Balance and Calm with Chinese
Herbal Medicine

Irritability and anger can disrupt your daily life, relationships, and well-being. Whether caused by stress, hormonal imbalances, or lifestyle factors, these emotions can affect your mental and physical health. Family Acupuncture offers natural solutions through customized Chinese herbal medicine to help restore emotional balance, promote relaxation, and support overall wellbeing.

How Chinese Herbal Medicine Supports Emotional Health

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views emotional imbalances as signs of internal imbalance. By addressing the root causes of irritability and anger, Chinese herbs can help support your body's energy (Qi), regulate the liver, and promote a calm, peaceful state of mind. Our carefully selected herbal formulas work to

  • Regulate Liver: In TCM, liver imbalances are often linked to emotional stress and frustration.  The emotion related to the liver is anger/irritability.
  • Calm the Mind: Herbs support the nervous system and promote relaxation.
  • Balance Hormones: Address hormonal fluctuations contributing to mood swings and irritability.
  • Reduce Stress: Herbal medicine can help alleviate tension and anxiety that lead to anger and irritability
  • Improve Sleep Quality: A restful night can significantly impact emotional well-being.

Their Words, Their Journeys, Real Outcomes

What Our Patients Say About Their Fertility Experience

My husband and I were diagnosed with unexplained infertility and conceived our son through IVF in 2009. We decided to try for our second without the help of reproductive technology, but after two and a half years of unsuccessful attempts, we knew we needed help. A friend recommended I see Jose for a consult and I began working with him in January 2014. I saw Jose for acupuncture twice a week and took herbs daily to support my menstrual cycle. My cycles had already been pretty regular so I didn’t experience much change in this area, but I found the acupuncture to be very relaxing and overall felt really good during the 6 months I saw Jose. After 6 months, my husband and I returned to our fertility doctor for updated testing. Once again our tests came back normal and our infertility remained unexplained. Our doctor said that we would be excellent candidates for another cycle of IVF, but we decided against it and went back to Jose with our test results. After reviewing my husband’s testing, Jose immediately recognized low morphology as an area of concern. What was considered “normal” by our doctor was not normal after all. Jose began treating my husband with herbs and after only 2 months, we conceived naturally! I am now 12 weeks into a healthy pregnancy, something I thought I might never experience again, thanks to Family Acupuncture and Herbs of Reading!

This was my first experience and acupuncture and will definitely not be my last. I have nothing but praises for Jose and his professionalism, intelligence and kindness during this process. I sought out Jose after receiving referrals from a couple friends for infertility acupuncture. I am so glad I decided to give it a try. I ended up staying with Jose for approximately 3.5 months. Acupuncture not only helped in my fertility journey but also helped my stress and self awareness. Jose's practice is clean and his hours are very convenient, especially for the working mom! I high recommend Jose to anyone struggling with infertility, he is so knowledgeable about this subject and helped me through my journey.
