About Eastern Medicine
Why should I choose Eastern Medicine?

Eastern Medicine is a great way to fill in the holes that Western medicine doesn’t cover. Western medicine is particularly great for acute emergency situations. It can save your life, patch up the symptoms and get you back on your feet, but may not actually fix the root of the problem. Plus Western drugs often come with uncomfortable side-effects. Eastern Medicine addresses the cause of the problem, prevents problems from building up, encourages healing, and maintains health – naturally. It’s similar to maintaining your car. If you beat up your car, fill it with cheap gas, and never get tune-ups or oil changes it will eventually break down. A mechanic can make it work again by replacing some parts, but it will eventually break down again if you continue to ignore proper maintenance measures. On the other hand, if you bring in your car for routine tune-ups and oil changes, while keeping an eye out for changes in sounds or performance, your car will run for many many years.

  • "I came to see Rebecca for chronic indigestion which I had been suffering with for 9 months. I was taking increasing doses of Zantac but was still feeling badly on a daily basis. I had cut all animal fat, processed sugars and dairy from my diet but nothing seemed to help. Within 6 weeks of herbal therapy with Rebecca I was relieved of all of my symptoms and was able to stop taking Zantac while resuming a normal diet. She has proven to be a thoughtful and caring practitioner, always taking a conservative approach with my treatment. I am deeply grateful for her help and thrilled to have my life back." - L.J., Lexington
  • "I had been suffering from a rare stomach disorder for the last 10 years. I had been to 3 different hospitals in MA, 1 in California, taken a slew of tests, and had been in and out of the emergency room so many times I felt like it was my second home. I would get these attacks of very bad pain in my stomach and non-stop vomiting episodes. I also was suffering from anxiety, stress and insomnia. After losing the battle with traditional western medicines and doctors only giving me quick fixes I decided to try acupuncture. I knew Rebecca was really good from the initial consultation; which was very thorough. I started noticing results around the second week of treatments! And now, I haven’t had any symptoms of my sickness since the treatments which has been going almost a year! Point blank acupuncture works! Not only do I not have any issues with my stomach but I was able to get my life back again! Thanks for giving me my life back Rebecca!" - L.L., Waltham
  • "I have been coming to see Rebecca for the past several weeks and she has greatly helped me to manage stress and blood pressure.

  • "I used Rebecca’s acupuncture services for a medical complaint, and found it extremely helpful. I was an acupuncture first-timer and very nervous, mostly fearful about the pain of the needles. Rebecca made me feel comfortable by explaining the whole process to me. She was knowledgeable, honest and down to earth, and her confidence and calmness helped me trust her. As a first timer, I asked Rebecca how it worked, and she gave me an explanation from both a western and eastern perspective, which I really appreciated. Her thoughtful demeanor, her listening skills, her willingness to adjust her treatment based on the nuances that I presented all made me feel that I was in skillful and sensitive hands. The results were great. The needles didn’t hurt and I was most pleased that I was able to avoid using drugs to successfully treat my condition." - S.M., Cambridge
