By combining acupuncture, Chinese dietary therapy, and herbal medicine, the body’s natural balance and hormonal function can be restored. In doing so, patients learn to optimize their lifestyle choices, thus increasing their physical and emotional well-being, as well as reducing stress. At OVA Health, science and nature converge in the practice of acupuncture.
