Gum & Oral Conditions

We recognize the integral connection between oral health and overall well-being. Drawing from centuries of TCM wisdom and modern understanding of oral anatomy and physiology, our approach at Acupuncture Herbal Center focuses on restoring balance and harmony within the body to promote oral health and alleviate common conditions such as gingivitis, periodontitis, and oral ulcers.

Central to our treatment strategy for gum and oral conditions is the concept of regulating Qi (vital energy) and Blood circulation. In TCM theory, disruptions in Qi and Blood flow can manifest as symptoms of oral discomfort and disease. Therefore, our practitioners employ acupuncture to stimulate specific acupuncture points related to the oral cavity, meridians associated with the stomach, spleen, and liver, as well as points along the face and neck. By doing so, we aim to promote circulation, reduce inflammation, and restore harmony to the oral environment.

Acupuncture is often complemented by herbal medicine in our TCM treatments for gum and oral conditions. Our practitioners prescribe customized herbal formulas tailored to address the underlying imbalances contributing to each patient’s specific oral health concerns. These herbal remedies may include a combination of herbs known for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and wound-healing properties, such as honeysuckle flower (Jin Yin Hua), coptis root (Huang Lian), and licorice root (Gan Cao).

In addition to acupuncture and herbal medicine, diet and lifestyle modifications are integral components of our TCM treatment plan for gum and oral conditions. Our practitioners provide guidance on nutrition, oral hygiene practices, and stress management techniques that can support oral health and enhance the effectiveness of acupuncture and herbal therapy. By addressing the root causes of oral imbalances and promoting holistic balance within the body, our TCM treatments offer a comprehensive approach to managing gum and oral conditions, empowering patients to achieve optimal oral health and overall well-being.
