Women’s Health
Acupuncture For Women’s Health in Tillamook County
Women make up the majority of our patient population. We are not alone; women far outnumber men in seeking complementary and alternative healthcare. There is a saying in classical Chinese medicine: “If you want to be a superior physician, first learn to treat women.”
That is sage advice when you consider that women’s bodies can go through dramatic changes over a lifetime. From adolescence to the childbearing years, through menopause and beyond, women have more complexity with reproduction and hormonal regulation (endocrine function). Women are often more “tuned in” to their bodies and are more likely to seek assistance when they sense that “something isn’t right.” And perhaps, women just might be more appreciative of a customized and personal approach to their healthcare.
We agree and strongly feel that our patients deserve a personal approach to women’s health.
Hormonal dysregulation in women can affect every system of the body and often involves multiple systems simultaneously. For this reason, a one-size-fits-all approach usually doesn’t produce the desired results. Rather than treating symptoms, we work to discover the underlying issues that may be causing them. The focus is to restore health and promote well-being.
A holistic approach is never more appropriate than when it comes to women’s health. There is no better holistic approach than the use of acupuncture and herbal medicine in the hands of a caring, skilled, and experienced practitioner. We care deeply about women’s health and are dedicated to advancing our knowledge in this area.

Testimonials
“I have been going to Cedar Grove Healing Arts for about four months and as someone who is fairly athletic, this is the singular best thing I have ever done for my wellness. Emden takes a comprehensive approach, taking the time to understand your needs in the context of your life and activities. Every session leaves me feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready for whatever physical challenge might be in store for me that week. I have also noticed remarkable mental health improvements since starting with Emden. Cedar Grove Healing Arts has my highest recommendation.”

“I’ve been treated by Emden for over a year now— the care she provides is excellent and has become a key tool for me as I continue to manage on-going chronic health issues. In particular, they have helped me manage menstrual irregularities, muscle and joint pain, migraines, digestive issues, and mental health difficulties such as anxiety. She is very warm, thoughtful and attentive, and takes time before each appointment to check in about how my body has been feeling, and then proceeds to integrate whatever information I give her into her approach that day. Her comprehensive and holistic approach to healing coupled with her approachable demeanor make her truly skilled at her work!”

“My experience at Cedar Grove Healing Arts has been truly transformative. They are incredibly knowledgeable in body work and acupuncture, while also offering insight and expertise in women’s health and wellbeing. I sought out acupuncture to help alleviate intense headaches and anxiety, and after several months of treatment, I am beyond thrilled to report that my headaches have completely dissipated, and anxiety is now at an all time low. Words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for the work the team provides.”
