Ancient Medicine for Modern Life

Traditional Chinese Medicine seeks to restore balance within the body, mind and environment. Garden Acupuncture uses Whole-Systems Traditional Chinese Medicine (WS-TCM) to restore balance and health not only within individuals, but within our greater Brooklyn, New York community. Through acupuncture, herbs, nutrition and lifestyle support, we empower our clients to understand, improve and maintain holistic health.

We welcome all, and we’re open 7 days a week (Mon-Thurs, 11am-10pm and Fri-Sun 11am-6pm). To make an appointment, call us at 347.987.4399 or visit our booking page.

Our Practitioners
