I practice in the Virginia MN and surrounding area. I have a Master degree of Oriental Medicine. I am also an herbalist and believe that 'food is our medicine'.
I teach my patients how to enhance lifestyles and it is my belief that 'what you do the 6 days between treatments, makes the biggest impact on health and wellbeing.' I will teach you home remedies and give you insight that allows your body to heal itself.

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.

Root to Branch Acupuncture offers Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Cupping, Gua Sha and Moxa therapy to help relieve pain, reduce stress and improve health.
