"For several years I’d suffered from malaise and a perpetual low-grade fever. The doctors didn’t know the cause, even after extensive testing. They said I had been exposed to Epstein-Barr virus and that this might be the problem, but they had no advice for treatment. I decided to try acupuncture at Giving Nature Center and finally got some relief! The fevers pretty much cleared up right away, and over a few months’ time my energy came back, then my lifelong insomnia resolved as well. I’m a believer in acupuncture and will continue to use it to stay in good health."

Classes
To stay in good health and to remain strong and healthy as we age, the best medicine is preventative.
In times past, there was a body of "folk wisdom" that was passed from one generation to the next, simple self-care techniques that put the power to improve your health in your own hands.
Classes include self-care approaches for allergies, headaches, insomnia, hormonal imbalance and menopause, among other common ailments. We also offer classes in natural health care for children so parents can learn simple and natural ways to help prevent or relieve many common childhood ailments such as colic in infants, pediatric eczema, teething and toothache, ear infections, food allergies and sleep problems.
