When most people think of “medicine,” their thinking begins and ends with Western medicine, with drugs, surgeries, and hospitals as vivid representations of how it’s practiced. While Western medicine has been in existence for a few hundred years, there is a medical practice that was developed and has been refined for thousands of years more: traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
TCM can treat many things that Western medicine can treat, as well as many things Western medicine cannot treat as effectively. Both systems have their place, and they can also serve as a complement to each other. TCM, with Chinese herbal medicine at its core, treats hundreds of millions of people around the globe, and there is a very good chance that it can help you as well.
In my office, I provide three primary services for treating my patients: Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture and NAET.
Dr. Schoenbart has been practicing Chinese Herbal Medicine for 30 years. He has written over 20,000 herbal prescriptions and is regularly asked by other practitioners to consult on their cases to develop effective prescriptions for their own patients. He is associate chair of the Department of Herbal Medicine at a university that trains acupuncturists.
Your prescription of herbs will be customized based on your personal condition and health concerns. Both telemedicine and in-office appointments are available.
Acupuncture delivers quick and effective relief for hundreds of different ailments. While it is well known for treating pain, it is also incredibly effective at calming the mind. Dr. Schoenbart often prescribes acupuncture to jump-start the more long-term benefits provided by Chinese herbs.
Do you have allergies? NAET is a lesser known but extremely effective treatment for food and other allergies that is based on the energy flows of traditional Chinese medicine and the knowledge of the brain, neurology, the autonomic nervous system and kinesiology. It’s been shown to be effective for many patients for whom nothing else has worked.
Dr. Bill Schoenbart is a practitioner of Chinese Herbal Medicine, Acupuncture, and NAET in Santa Cruz, California.
