Heartland Oriental Medicine

Rooted in Tradition.Healing for Today.

Acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and integrative wellness — including specialized Alpha-Gal Syndrome care.

Our Philosophy

Medicine that treats the whole person

At Heartland Oriental Medicine, we believe your body has a deep capacity to heal. Traditional Chinese Medicine works by restoring the natural balance of Qi — your vital energy — so your body's own systems can do what they were designed to do.

Our doctor brings years of clinical training in TCM alongside a genuine care for each patient's unique story. Whether you're managing chronic pain, navigating complex immune conditions like Alpha-Gal Syndrome, or simply wanting to feel more like yourself — we meet you where you are.

"True healing comes not from treating symptoms, but from restoring the conditions in which the body can heal itself."

01

Listen First

Every appointment begins with a thorough intake. We listen before we treat, because your history and your experience are the foundation of good care.

02

Treat the Root

Symptoms are signals. We look beyond surface-level complaints to find and address the underlying imbalances driving your condition.

03

Support the Whole

We work alongside your other healthcare providers, offering a complementary lens that broadens your options and deepens your care.

Treatments & Services

Each service is tailored to you — informed by TCM diagnosis and centuries of clinical tradition.

Wood

Acupuncture

Fine, sterile needles placed along meridian pathways to stimulate the body's natural healing response. Effective for pain, stress, digestion, hormonal balance, and much more.

Earth

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Custom herbal formulas crafted from centuries-tested botanical traditions. Prescribed based on your unique pattern of imbalance — never a one-size protocol.

Specialty Care

Alpha-Gal Specialty Care

Specialized TCM-based protocols developed to support immune modulation, reduce inflammatory response, and improve daily life for Alpha-Gal patients.

Fire

Cupping Therapy

Glass or silicone cups create gentle suction on the skin to release tension, improve circulation, and clear stagnation from muscles and fascia.

Fire

Moxibustion

The therapeutic application of heat using dried mugwort to warm meridians and stimulate Qi flow — especially effective for cold-type conditions and deficiency patterns.

Metal

Lifestyle & Nutrition

Guidance grounded in TCM dietary principles and seasonal living to support your treatments and help you maintain balance between appointments.

Alpha-Gal Syndrome Specialty

When conventional medicine doesn't have answers, we do.

Alpha-Gal can feel isolating — especially when your symptoms are real but your options feel limited to avoidance and an EpiPen. We've developed specific TCM protocols that help calm mast cell overactivation, strengthen digestive Qi, and support your immune system in finding its footing again.

Learn About Our Alpha-Gal Protocol

What patients often experience:

  • Fewer and milder reactions over time
  • Improved energy and reduced brain fog
  • Better sleep and nervous system regulation
  • Less GI disturbance and histamine sensitivity

TCM doesn't cure AGS — antibodies remain. Most patients notice meaningful shifts within 6–12 weeks. We always work alongside your allergist and emergency protocols.
