Herbal Medicine for Pets?

Often, my clients tell me about the antics of their beloved cats and dogs. Sometimes they tell me about how their pets are receiving acupuncture for their pains. Acupuncture for animal pain relief seems to work really well!

Also, they will tell me about the general health complaints of their furry children. They will ask if Chinese Herbal medicine is something that could help them. I have had to say, yes, there are people that will prescribe Chinese Herbal medicine for cats and dogs (and even horses). And now I can say that I am one of them!

Recently, I took a course on using Chinese Herbal medicine for common veterinary complaints. It was really informative. I am looking forward to further improving the lives of my patients by improving the health of their pets! I'll write about specific conditions in later blog posts. I'm really excited to get some feedback from my patients on how their pets respond to Chinese Herbal medicine! I know firsthand that people respond very well, and now I look forward to hearing about how the animals do after treatment!

Back from Hiatus?

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I've posted!

This is due to the new addition to my life. Baby Benjamin was born in January of this year. This has lead to lots of changes upon the demands of my time, but also lots of pediatric research!

I know this was started as an acupuncture and alternative medicine blog, but I hope that adding posts on baby care and wellness will be a welcome addition to the material available here. I'll experiment with content and see how it goes!
