Botox Above, Balance Below: How Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Complements Integrative Aesthetics Can a patient continue treating their forehead and frown lines with Botox while receiving Constitutional Facial Acupuncture for the rest of the face? Absolutely. In fact, this is one of my favourite conversations to have with Naturopathic Doctors who already incorporate cosmetic injections into their practices.

They are different tools, they accomplish different things, and when used thoughtfully, they can work beautifully together. A patient may love the way Botox softens the lines between their eyebrows or [...]

Learn Why Acupuncture Is So Effective for TMJ/Jaw Pain Throughout the last 15 years as an Acupuncturist, one of the treatments I love working on is acupuncture for TMJ/Jaw Pain.

Symptoms of tinnitus and neck pain don't come to mind right away, and neither do headaches. This means you might be guided down the wrong path when it [...]

This can create blockage and stagnation within our bodies. In Chinese Medicine [...]
