READY TO COMMIT: REPAIRED MY HEALTH, CHANGED MY LIFE

12/15/2022

 
Being the quintessential type A, competitive, work hard/play hard kind of person, I began slowly running my health into the ground during my work in the medical/social services field. 
I guzzled caffeine, ran in circles, thrived off intensity, and tossed back antibiotics any time I became ill.  While I always endured respiratory infections having followed the same patterns in college, when I started developing inexplicable and untreatable eczema, I grew desperate for help. 
My poor self-care and health habits where literally crawling up to the surface screaming out for change.  Numerous brilliant doctors worked closely with me, but nothing changed.  No cause could be found and it was just steroids on top of steroids on top of steroids…
I needed help! 
A co-worker RN whom is a veteran referred me to Anjelika and my life has never been the same.
When I started treatment with Anjelika, she assured me after a thorough assessment she could help and asked for a commitment. 
Three times a week for many months I carved out 3-hour round-trip sessions, took the herbs, drank the teas, and practiced the lifestyle and diet changes while soaking in all the wisdom she had to share.  Aside from her skilled practice of Chinese Medicine, she became a life coach to me. 
Anjelika poignantly helped me recognize my maladaptive patterns, empowering and enabling me to correct them in a way that served my body, mind, and really my soul. 
It was HARD work and worth every single effort because what I got back was my best self, saturated with endless life-altering insights and my initial goal of restoring my health. 
I have never felt better.
Having fundamentally restored my basic immunity and gut health, I enjoy trusting Anjelika with all of my wellbeing needs because she continually tackles any fun challenges I throw her way. 
She has alleviated extensive musculoskeletal issues from a lifetime of sports injuries, restored my menstrual cycle to health, and corrected challenging reproductive imbalances.
She has taught me how to prioritize self-care, a healthy diet, and good living in a sustainable way. 
I am seldom sick because on the rarity illness attempts to strike, I know what to do so it doesn’t progress, it’s quite magical. 
I feel rested, energized, light on my feet and sound in my mind. 
Most recently, she helped gift me my darling son after turning to acupuncture once again for fertility challenges. 
When I say she has bettered every single aspect of my life with her treatment and herself, I mean it at my core.
Acupuncture came to me at the perfect time in my life where I was truly ready to dedicate to change and evolve because the way I was living was not serving me. 
Naturally, the benefits I’ve experienced make me want to shout it from the rooftops! 
I am quick to recommend it to friends, family, even strangers, and if you’re reading this testimonial, I hope this speaks to you in some way. 
To pay it forward is the biggest thank you I could give for what acupuncture and Anjelika have done for me. 
My closing advice is to give it solid commitment and trust this gifted healer- you will not regret it.

Migraine, Uterine Fibroids

8/23/2015

 
My 13 year old daughter started having terrible migraine headache attacks in early 2010. We took her for many tests; MRI, CAT scan, Eye exams, and all tests look normal. She was prescribed a medicine to help prevent an attack from developing further. She was to take it on the onset of the migraine, in hopes that she would not go into seizure activity and go blind in one eye, as she had in the past. There was no other "cure" or help they could give us. I was not satisfied with that, and knew from previous experiences, that acupuncture and herbs could help her to heal from what was causing the migraine attacks. She started receiving treatments at the clinic 2x a week for 12 treatments total, and herbal formulas from Anjelika and then continued another 4 treatments, and she was feeling well enough that she did not want to continue. She has not had any more severe attacks, and has not complained of an even a simple headache in months. Her energy level is back to normal, and she is a happy and healthy child. I am so very grateful to Sasha and Anjelika for bringing this medicine to our community for such a low cost. They helped my daughter tremendously.
My second story is about me. Back in 2009, I started having irregular menstrual cycles. I went to my Ob-Gyn who did an ultrasound and found 2 small fibroid tumors. She put me on birth control pills to regulate my periods. I took them for 1.5 years, but then I started to have problems with my heart - PVC's, irregular beats, pounding palpitations, and rapid heartbeat once that sent me to the Emergency room. Hence, I discontinued the pill, and then they inserted an IUD in me, thinking that would be better. I had it in for 9 months and I bled almost every day lightly for 9 months. I had become an anemic. I again had an ultrasound, to find out that my body was rejecting it, and had pushed it into my cervix. Also, I had grown a third fibroid tumor during the course of these treatments, and my uterus had enlarged to 12 inches. The IUD was removed, and they put me on a different pill. I continued to bleed every day, but this time very heavily with clots. Once again, Emergency room visits. That’s when I went to the clinic for help. I stopped the birth control pill, started taking herbs to shrink the tumors, and acupuncture twice weekly. It has been one month since beginning this treatment, and this is the first month in over 2 years that I have had a normal menstrual cycle with no spotting in between!! I feel so much healthier already. I plan to have another ultrasound in August, to see the status of the tumors. I would not be surprised if they are gone.

Foot Pain

8/23/2015

 
I gladly put forth this letter of recommendation for the Herbal medicine and Acupuncture work at the clinic.
I came in for inflammation and pain in my foot, metatarsal area.  We worked for 12 treatments, at a very reasonable price that I was able to pay out of pocket, to address my health problems.  I received both acupuncture and herbs in my treatment.  Within a short time the tissues in my foot were on the mend and my overall physical strength had increased.  As a side benefit, my monthly period had also improved with less blood loss, decrease bleeding duration and no cramping. Overall my experience was excellent and I have recommended the clinic several times since. They are extremely professional, thorough, and exceptional in their concern and presence with me as a patient. They are wonderful and gifted healers.  I truly appreciate their work and can wholeheartedly recommend them.

Kind regards,
NFP

PMS

8/23/2015

 
Aloha,   
I have been receiving acupuncture and taking herbal medicine for 10 months.. I am very pleased with the results. What made me seek help were PMS issues, before I got treatment I would have heavy blood flow and big clots, severe cramping, mood swings, insomnia, and headaches, also on the 14 day of my cycle I would bleed again for 4 days. After about 2 - 3 months of treatments and herbs I noticed changes: I stopped bleeding on the 14 day of my cycle which I was so happy about ,no insomnia, no severe cramping and clots, everything is so much more manageable I don't feel like my cycle is  controlling my life anymore.                       

Thank you, HN

Pregnancy 

8/23/2015

 
I wish to give my testimony about the benefits I have received from regular visits to the  Community Clinic in Makawao.
During my pregnancy last year, I received weekly acupuncture treatments and herbal formulas to assist me with many pregnancy related symptoms such as fatigue, heart burn, back pain and headaches. The first issue was morning sickness and fatigue, which I am pleased to say, did indeed improve, as I felt more energy, vitality and overall sense of wellness after only a few treatments. This immediate improvement in my fatigue made such a difference that I was able to feel good and enjoy 9 months of pregnancy and maintain excellent health.
Sasha and Anjelika helped me significantly with my morning sickness, headaches, dizziness and back pain.
On several occasions I felt the headache dissipating during the treatment and left the clinic headache free, which was a great relief.
Sasha and Anjelika are well trained and highly knowledgeable, they are very professional and caring approach. I trusted them to take excellent care of me during my sensitive time of pregnancy, which I took very seriously. 
Maintaining good health and overall balance and well-being during pregnancy is obviously of utmost importance and acupuncture with herbs was able to address the pain symptoms, many of which could not be safely treated with medication during pregnancy.
Sincerely, 

MH

Migraine

8/23/2015

 
I had been experiencing daily headaches for almost two months.  I went to see a doctor at Kaiser who suggested that I might be experiencing migraines and recommended that I start taking Excedrin Migraine to treat them. I told the doctor that I had already been taking ibuprofen daily and was more interested in the cause and the prevention of the headaches rather than just treating the pain. The doctor explained that if the headaches persisted after taking Excedrin, he would prescribe a low level antidepressant to treat the headaches. After a couple of weeks of taking Excedrin almost daily, and not interested in going on antidepressants, I decided to seek out a more holistic approach to my problem. After about two weeks of treatments at the Community Acupuncture & Herbal Clinic in Makawao, my headaches disappeared. The treatments also helped treat other issues I had been experiencing, including chronic fatigue and debilitating menstrual cramps with heavy bleeding. After 12 sessions of acupuncture and an herbal formula I am feeling more alert, less tired, and my last period was less heavy with minimal cramps. I would very much recommend acupuncture and herbs as an effective alternative to pain medications in the treatment and prevention of headaches and painful menstrual periods.

Immunity

8/23/2015

 
Aloha!
It is with pleasure that I submit my personal testimony as proof of the amazing results received directly from the treatment of acupuncture and herbal medicine. 
I am a female, 44 years of age, and approximately 20 years ago was privileged to have acupuncture treatment given to me from friends who were from China and had learned the art of acupuncture.  I was suffering from pneumonia at the time and my condition was steadily deteriorating.  After just one treatment, the fever broke and I was able to regain my strength and recover fully.  This was in Cape Town, South Africa. 
Years passed and with time, I started to feel less energized and was experiencing ongoing symptoms of sore throat after consuming sugar, severe migraine headaches which would occur at least once a month. The headaches were very severe, not being able to move, having to close the curtains and try to fall asleep to overcome the progressive headache which was accompanied by nausea and vomiting.  Other symptoms included aching knees, not being able to bend down as easily as before and feeling “old” in my movement.  I have had genital herpes for years… with recurring outbreaks almost monthly close to my menstrual period.  Another health disorder that appeared was itching in the anal area; this was very severe and very disturbing to my overall peace of mind. 
I tried many different health alternatives to achieve optimum health of which all had left me feeling exasperated and worried. 
Meeting the practitioners at the Community Clinic was a blessing and a heaven-send. They immediately were able to offer sound advice which I could feel started working immediately in terms of diet guidelines, herbal remedies and acupuncture treatment. I can honestly say that all the symptoms discussed above have completely disappeared and I am experiencing good health and well-being today!  I would strongly encourage anyone who has not tried acupuncture or seen Anjelika for her herbal formulations to offer themselves this life-saving opportunity! 

With aloha, CKJ
