Herbology is an important modality utilized in traditional Chinese medicine; used alone or in combination with acupuncture, Chinese herbs can effectively treat a wide variety of health problems and maintain wellness without significant side effects. At our clinics, each herbal medicine prescription is a formula consisting of capsule formulas to raw herbs tailored to the individual patient.
One of the most common questions we get is, "Will acupuncture help me with this condition?" To learn more about how acupuncture treats certain common conditions please look at the tabs under "Conditions" above. Acupuncture treatment is aimed at resolving imbalances of the body's organ systems and fundamental substances such as qi and blood.
Allergies occur when your immune system responds to foreign substances often causing reactions from sneezing and itchiness to hives, tingling, rashes, etc. Common treatments for allergies include avoiding the allergenic substance-which often times can be near impossible when it's a loving pet- or medication which often times has side effects that make the allergy symptoms feel "pleasant".
Experiencing anxiety when it comes to certain situations or experiences is a part of life. However, when anxiety persists it can become difficult for individuals to lead their normal day lives. Both Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine work towards helping such individuals regain aspects of their lives back through different courses of treatment.

I have been working with Dr. Bian for two years now and she always gets my body back in check no matter how out-of-wack it may get. She's always concerned when she hasn't seen me for awhile but is always understanding if I haven't been able to make it in. The points that she uses always make sense, especially if they're a little tender going in. I. said, "Oh I felt that one!" and she told me that's where I'd been holding all my stress. Which only made sense, because it was after the holidays! She is at the Edina clinic, but I've also seen Dr. Wei Liu at the St. Louis Park Clinic, I'd recommend both!

I've tried acupuncture in various places, but receiving acupuncture at this school is not only the most feasible, but supervisors and students are fully engaged with your health. It is a student clinic so it is important to be mindful that the feasible costs are as a result of receiving treatment from students. However, as far as treatment plans are, supervisors are excellent in monitoring the points and meridians that are selected during treatment and the herbal formulas administered.
I've recommended many people here whom have seen results that they haven't obtained in more professional settings because they don't often spend as much time addressing the correct diagnosis. Keep an open mind and try various different shifts. There are different supervisors everyday and there are a group of different students every trimester. Every supervisor has their own style, see what fits yours. Best of luck!

Even though I'm also Chinese I find it unfair that all the staff in the office, school and clinic are Chinese, except for the receptionist. Their favorite students are Chinese, and they let them get away with cheating and performing duties that they're not certified to perform. There are teachers who teach the bulk of the classes which makes it impossible to avoid them if their teaching style falls short and ineffective. I started my degree with this school and finished accordingly but I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone I care about.

The negative reviews are unfortunate. As a current student of the school, and as a non-Chinese, I think you get what you put into something. No school is perfect and this one is no exception. You take the best from what is offered and leave the bad. I have found the students very welcoming and the professors professional and very knowledgeable. Sure there are exceptions, but if you try to keep the glass half full, you will be fine.
The clinic is a teaching clinic so you are obviously being seen by students who are still learning. But a supervisor oversees everything. Reviews are just that. Go see for yourself.

Make sure the clinic supervisor is overseeing treatment and herbs. Majority of school staff and students are Chinese. They speak Chinese in class and aren't very welcoming. School is suitable for non-working students who do NOT have ANY other responsibilities besides school. This is because the material and schedule is not organized or scheduled properly.
Teaching style leaves students stressed to pass exams and not lose their money, but it is not an enriching experience. Very little is learned. This approach only works for the school and teachers, not students and future patients.

I had my first acupuncture appointment today and It completely exceeded my expectations! Dr. He is wonderful. She made me feel very comfortable and confident about my treatment plan moving forward. The space is clean and comfortable and is located in a great neighborhood near shops and Trader Joe's. I also appreciate the free parking spaces in front of their place. I highly recommend it!

Both my daughter and I come here for treatment. She comes here for long-term treatment to supplement her traditional healthcare for her autoimmune disease-Lupus. She gets great relief from the many things that ail her including migraines, arthritis, constipation, insomnia, pain. I am an athlete, pushing my body all the time with running, weight lifting, etc.
When I've over done it, I come here to get help healing. I've seen Dr. Gu for everything from an abnormal ganglion cyst that popped up overnight (likely from straining of my wrists from weight lifting) to a minor meniscus tear. Both were VERY painful, rending my wrist and my knee pretty much useless. 1 treatment later, I was back to my normal self and back at the gym in less then a week. I'm a huge believer of acupuncture and it's benefits and will see Dr. Gu first before considering drugs or surgery!
Now when my friends complain of any kind of pain -anything from migraines to muscle aches to sprains, I'm all like -you need to see Dr. Gu. He will help your body heal itself faster and quicker and without drugs!
