We diagnose and treat the root cause of the blood stagnation and According to current research, acupuncture can promote blood circulation and regulate hormones. It can also have an anti-inflammatory effect and is effective for pain relief because of its effect on blood chemistry and in particular endorphin levels.

At EAWB, we use acupuncture, herbs, dietary recommendations, stress reducing techniques, and exercise recommendations to build and preserve kidney energy.
Unexplained Infertility
Unexplained infertility can be a very frustrating term for women to hear. Eastern Medicine sees and diagnoses our bodies very differently. All of us have patterns of imbalance and by treating these imbalances, optimum fertility can be achieved.
Male factor
Studies indicate acupuncture treatments have a positive effect on sperm motility, with new research supporting electro-acupuncture as a particularly viable treatment option for both the motility and restoring the process of sperm production.
