Your first visit to our clinic will be slightly longer than follow up treatments, approximately one to one and a half hour. Dr. Merav will go over your health forms questionnaire and ask additional questions to ascertain your constitution. She will inquire about your digestion, sleep, urination, stool, emotions, energy, body temperature, perspiration, diet, nutrition, pain, medication you are currently taking and other relevant questions to learn your complete health history. Knowing these information will help her to successfully diagnose your condition, treat your entire body and improve your health as a whole person.

Dr. Merav will check your tongue and take your pulses. The tongue is a map of the body. It reflects the general health of the organs and meridians. Dr. Merav will look at the color, shape, cracks and coating on your tongue. She will make her diagnosis and preside with your customized treatment. After the acupuncture treatment she will discuss with you about nutrition and herbal remedies that are appropriate for specific needs. Please bring a list of any medications, lab results or recent studies for your conditions.


Acupuncture needles are very small in size, usually no thicker than a strand of hair. The needles used for acupuncture are less than 1/10 the thickness of the hypodermic needle. Acupuncture needles are solid, not hollow. When inserted, you may experience a variety of sensations including: twinge, heaviness, warmth, or tingling near or along the meridians of the acupuncture points. These sensations are known as “de qi” or “arrival of qi.” In Oriental medicine, these feelings are indications that your body is responding to the treatment. Most people find it relaxing.


Yes. It is safe. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved acupuncture needles in 1996. At Acupuncture Health Solutions, we only use extremely fine, sterile, single use and disposable needles. In the hands of experienced practitioners, acupuncture treatment is a safe and effective procedure.


After an acupuncture treatment it is best to relax. Avoiding alcohol, intense physical activity, and heavy deep fried foods for at least six hours after the acupuncture treatment help the body adapt to the input of energy from the acupuncture session.

According to the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the body stores two opposing and inseparable energy forces: yin and yang. Yin represents the cold, slow or passive energy, and yang represents the hot, fast or active force. The disruption or in-balance between the two states of energy leads to blockage of qi (vital energy) along the meridians (pathways) in the body. This blockage consequently causes various diseased states.

There are 12 main meridians (pathways) and 8 secondary meridians. There are more than 361 acupuncture points on the human body along these meridians. According to TCM, acupuncture works by stimulating the various points along the meridians, and opening the blockage along the meridians. This process restores the flow of energy and restore balance within the body.

Acupuncture regulates the nervous system and the immune system. Acupuncture also can alter brain chemistry by changing the release of neurotransmitters (e.g., endorphin) and hormones. The release of these chemicals can help to regulate downstream body functions, such as the boosting immune system and normalizing blood pressure and flow.

The number of sessions depends on the goal of treatment and will vary form person to person. For acute conditions, a few treatments will usually be sufficient. Chronic and more complex problems may need one or two treatments per week for several months. Some people experience immediate relief; others may take months or even years to achieve results. Treatment frequency depends on a variety of factors: your constitution, the severity and duration of the problem and the quality and quantity of your Qi. Dr. Merav may suggest one or two treatments per week, or monthly visits for health maintenance and seasonal “tune ups”.

Wear comfortable and loose clothing. Have a light meal but do not consume any alcoholic beverages before treatments. Remember to tell your practitioner all of your medications and any physical or mental conditions. If possible, bring alist of all medications to your session.

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
