If you are ready to receive the support from herbalism and/or acupuncture (and maybe shiatsu, moxa, heat lamp therapy and other in-office modalities), I am here to help.
All I can say is that it’s a long story, but herbs have drastically changed my own life. I do find them to be reliable and incredibly helpful.
Please give me a call if you’d like to talk about using herbs!!
The areas in which I help people with herbs is so varied that I cannot make grand generalizations as to how much herbs can help. It truly depends on the person and situation.
Practicing herbalists formulate for the individual. We ask you about YOU and take all of what you say into consideration when creating a formula or protocol. We know how to find herbs to match your symptoms picture.
For herbs, it is a little different and depends on your symptoms and many other things. That is why seeing a trained herbalist (and not seeking the sound bites of a profit-motivated wellness influencer) is beneficial.
The research on both acupuncture and herbal medicine is vast and varied. But the best education assumption to how much relief you can reliably hope for is around 30-45-50% improvement over 5 or more acupuncture treatment.
And over time that can make all the difference in feeling more supported, functional and resourced as you negotiate going through life even with these annoying health issues.
Herbs and acupuncture can help you manage challenging health situations, while slowly supporting the body on it’s own healing journey.
How much “better” can you expect to get?
Instead, herbs and acupuncture are more like tools and less like miracles. They can help you cope with the immense overwhelm that comes with feeling so crappy.
Sure, I believe in miracles, and yeah, they happen on occasion. But I find them to be unpredictable, extremely rare and random.
Every other week I read about “health and wellness influencers” who essentially scam or at least mislead people for their own enrichment with “cures” for everything from Alzheimers to cancer to peri-menopause.
Let’s be frank: herbs and acupuncture are not magic or instant cures. There’s no secret acupuncture point or miracle herbal formula to make everything instantly better.
Tools to help you cope, manage and (maybe even) heal
In fact, I shudder to think of where I would be without the support and comfort herbs and acupuncture (and other parts of Chinese medicine, like moxa) provides.
Herbs and acupuncture have helped me so much in my ongoing journey with chronic health issues of various types, and over the years I have assisted others in similar situations.
Hey there! My name is Celia Linnemann and I am a licensed acupuncturist since 2014 and clinical herbalist since 2005, starting my training in 2002.

That’s where herbs and acupuncture can help!
In challenging situations you need more support.
That’s because when it comes to dealing with on-going health issues, chronic infections, pain, the annoying symptoms that come with our menstrual cycle, peri-menopause and menopause, stress, anxiety and any number of other health situations what you have to deal with can be bigger than what you can manage on your own.
But sometimes it feels like all we are doing is not enough to help us get through.
So many of us are doing all we can to take care of our health and wellbeing. We go to the doctor, do what is recommended to use, and try to manage our health to the best of our ability at home.
Constant discomfort, pain and health issues can tank your quality of life when you feel so crummy, so much of the time.
