South Portland, Maine I focus on treating pain, both physical and emotional. My practice combines acupuncture (traditional Chinese and orthopedic techniques) and Naturopathic medicine. You will receive treatment that is specifically tailored to you. This will include acupuncture, western herbs, and nutritional supplements. This medicine works with the body's natural healing abilities to strengthen your system and treat the root cause of your condition (so your symptoms go away and stay away.) Patients see relief from addiction, pain, anxiety, insomnia and more! I provide a safe, judgement free space, and all are welcome. My goal is to help you feel your best so you can live your life. Call or email for a consultation. Acupuncture and Western herbal medicine. A unique blend of East and West: I combine my background in research and modern healthcare with teachings of Naturopathic and Chinese traditional medicine to provide the most effective and comprehensive care.

About Dr. Amsu El
I’m Dr. Amsu El. I help people feel better in their bodies, think more clearly, and make changes that last.
My approach is simple and rigorous. I listen deeply, find the real pattern, and act with precision. I build plans case by case using electrical acupuncture, non-invasive bio-electrical therapy, breathwork, herbs, and practical lifestyle design. No templates. Your care is designed for you.

I was shaped by family, community, and wise Jegna's who insisted on integrity and results. Losing my sister young showed me what happens when care chases symptoms instead of terrain. In my clinic we intervene early, before a molehill becomes a mountain, and we pair nature with science so progress is real and measurable.

Sometimes the right move is acupuncture or targeted electrical work. Sometimes it is sunlight, grounding, traget journaling, or speaking the truth your body has been holding. Each tool has a time. The person determines the method.

I am here to reflect who you are, lighten the load you are carrying, and help you align with your internal compass, the most reliable healer you have. If that resonates, we can work.
