How Acupuncture Combines with Adjunctive Therapies for Holistic Wellness

How Acupuncture Combines with Adjunctive Therapies for Holistic Wellness

You might not think of combining acupuncture with other holistic wellness practices, but it is a great option to pair with a variety of adjunctive therapies. Let’s look at three different options to see how they might compliment each other and benefit a patient’s overall health and wellness journey. 

Perhaps the easiest way to express this concept is through the story of a fictional patient. Let’s look at the life of “Emma” and use her to illustrate just what such a wellness journey might look like. When Emma first walked into her acupuncturist’s office, she carried more than just physical pain. Years of chronic stress had manifested as migraines, insomnia, and a persistent feeling of being unmoored. Traditional medicine offered her temporary relief, but she longed for something deeper — a way to reconnect with herself and cultivate lasting well-being. That’s when her practitioner introduced her to a holistic approach, weaving together acupuncture with complementary therapies like sound bathing, essential oils, and herbal medicine.

“Your support helps us push back against the FDA’s biased stance and advocate for homeopathy through education and legislative action.

Despite homeopathy’s remarkable safety record, the FDA continues to take targeted actions that threaten access to homeopathic medicines. Remedies that have been used for generations—without toxic side effects—remain vulnerable under the current regulatory approach.

The FDA has singled out certain homeopathic remedies—like Nux Vomica, Belladonna, Mercurius Solubilis, and Arsenicum Album—as potentially “risky” because they use toxic starting materials despite the fact that these medicines are the safest group of drugs that FDA regulates.

In more than 200 years of use there has never been a single documented case of a death or serious injury from homeopathic medicines. That’s how safe they are.

With your donation, you can symbolically “adopt” one of these vital remedies:

*Donors are not literally adopting any single remedy, but our theme is designed to emphasize the FDA’s mis-statements about homeopathy.” -Americans for Homeopathy Choice
