Welcome to Lutea Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine.  Partnering with Integrative Family Medicine of Asheville, I provide gentle and effective acupuncture for all ages.  I also provide herbal consultation, qi gong instruction, tui na, and dietary therapy tailored for each patient and their individual needs.  Read more about it in my blog.   As an herbalist I also create, blend and bottle superior- quality orginal tincture formulas and salves.  Lutea is the species name of a lotus, a sacred plant in Chinese Herbal Medicine. I prepare and bottle each formula by hand with an emphasis on effectiveness, quality, and safety. Embracing Chinese Medicine means side-stepping the toxic and sometimes deadly effects of pharmaceuticals.Pain in any form is simply your body communicating an imbalance.  I help you to listen and access your body’s own remarkable healing–naturally.
