I have been in practice for more than twenty-five years and treat a wide range of disorders from gastrointestinal to musculoskeletal. I treat one person at a time, taking whatever time is required. I like to establish trust and rapport in a comfortable setting. I answer all questions that I can and give explanations for how I have arrived at the treatment I recommend. Massage is often included in the treatment.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, disease contains two parts analogous to the roots and branches of a tree. The symptoms are like branches, and if you only treat them, the same roots will soon grow the same symptoms again. To effectively heal, one must address the root cause of the of illness so the tree may grow healthy branches. Additionally, two people may both experience a similar disease but have very different underlying root causes. Likewise, two others may have very different diseases but have the same root cause. At Rooted Medicine, Andrea Hingst L.Ac. MSOM, draws from experiences in integrated hospitals and private practice to combine traditional Chinese therapies with modern functional medicine to identify each individual’s unique foundational imbalance to heal from the roots up.
