Acupuncture

Chinese medical theory dictates that acupuncture address both the "ben" (root) and the "biao" (branch). The root is the reason for imbalance in the body and the branch is the group of symptoms manifested by the root. Ruth chooses a combination of points to treat the symptoms the patient is having as well as the underlying imbalances so that the symptoms do not return.

Dylan uses tiny Japanese needles so that her patients are comfortable but makes sure she taps into the "qi" or energy of the body so that the chosen acupuncture points and their meridians are activated.

Herbal and Nutritional Support

Dylan carries western herbs from Galen’s Way, a Sebastopol-owned company to create individualized tinctures and will frequently prescribe various supplements depending upon the needs of the patient.

Labwork

Dylan will frequently run blood and saliva tests as needed to check, for example, cortisol, thyroid and other hormone levels, monitor blood sugar levels or to evaluate levels of a particular condition.
