Our emphasis is always on helping our patients achieve their best possible health. Using a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary recommendations, and lifestyle changes, we can often not only help with persistent conditions, but also improve a patient's general well being and happiness. We not only treat the current condition; we also focus on and address the underlying causes that prevent a patient from experiencing their full health and well being.

The Art and Science of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Food Energetics and Herbal Healing
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is like a timeless conversation between humanity and nature, a dialogue that’s been refining itself for over 80 centuries. As an integrative practitioner, I’ve watched patients walk into my clinic skeptical, only to leave with a newfound respect for the power of a well-placed herb or a bowl of congee. TCM’s approach to health—using food and herbs to harmonize the body’s Qi, Yin, and Yang—is both an art and a science, grounded in observation and elevated by intuition.

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.
