Yes, you can. Acupuncture has no recorded interactions with western medications, with the exception of blood thinners. It is always a good idea to discuss your treatment with your doctor.

Even if the other therapy is considered "safe", it may interfere with the absorption of Prosta-Q, or block its actions in other ways.

A : Yes, TCM is a complete and well rounded healing system that can be used in conjunction with almost all other systems. In China, it is very common to have an acupuncture and herbal treatment wing and a Western medical wing in a hospital. For example, a patient undergoing heart surgery might be given acupuncture to boost the immune system before surgery, acupuncture anesthesia during surgery, and an IV drip of Chinese Herbs in recovery.

Since they work by supporting the immune system rather than covering up symptoms, it may seem as though herbal remedies are slow to act. Herbal healing works from the inside out, so we need to be patient think of this as life- time remedy, not an allopathic band-aid.

Western medical doctors have developed great interest in incorporating acupuncture, particularly as they have noticed its impact and success with addictions, AIDS, sports injuries, trauma, and pain relief. |top|

While homeopathy and these healing arts are similar in that they do not employ drugs or other conventional medical procedures, each one is also quite distinctive.

Western herbalism focuses on symptoms and diseases like headache, sore throat, etc. Chinese herbal medicine is practiced as part of TCM, and is based on an individual's unique pattern diagnosis, as well as their disease diagnosis. This means that TCM patients receive individualized herbal prescriptions called formulas. These formulas can remain the same through treatment, or they can change with each treatment as the disease changes and resolves.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) uses plants as medicine to keep people healthy for thousands of years, the theory is very different from western medicine. TCM used the complex components of the plants to balance the chi, blood, and yin, yang of the body.

Your pattern is made up of your signs and symptoms, your emotional temperament and overall composition of your body. The TCM patient receives a custom written herbal prescription designed to treat their specific individual pattern as well as the common symptom or disease.
