Allergy Video

Hello, all!

If you were interested in being treated for allergies this sneezy wheezy summer season, hear what I have to say about acupuncture & what it can do for you:

We just joined Somerville Local First!

We're excited to announce that Acupuncture Alternative Care is now a member of Somerville Local First. SLF is a collaborative of companies local to the area, which supports the "buy local" movement by connecting them all together. Check out their mission statement:

SOMERVILLE LOCAL FIRST(SLF) ENGAGES BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS IN BUILDING ECONOMIES THAT ARE GREEN, LOCAL, AND FAIR

According to their website, "Somerville Local First works to build a sustainable local economy and vibrant community here in Somerville, MA. We do this by supporting locally owned and independent businesses and promoting sustainable economic development. Launched in May 2008, SLF now connects over 170 members, including businesses, artists, nonprofits, and community members in support of our vision."

So, check us out in their member directory or the next print of their magazine. We'll most likely be at gatherings and events they hold in Somerville, so stay tuned!

Welcome to my home.

For those of you who walk on Elm Street in Somerville everyday -- to go from Porter to Davis Square, or maybe you just came from the Shaw's parking lot -- welcome to my home, and come visit for a free acupuncture consultation.

Every summer, there are tomatoes, flowers, and herbs growing in the garden around my house, which is also my office. Acupuncture Alternative Care has provided a comfortable space for patients in the Somerville/Cambridge area since 1994.

A comfy couch out front and two treatment rooms, patients and visitors alike delve into a space that is trusting and nurturing. Again, come by and enjoy a classic Somerville home, and if you want to talk about acupuncture -- let's do it together!
