Eastern Medicine Made Simple At WTHN—A Sleek New York City Accupuncture Studio

Accupunture has well-known benefits and has been used to alleviate insomnia, anxiety and even help with fertility treatments. However, finding the ideal practioner, in a non-medicinal environment, can be a challenge. That’s where WTHN comes in. These light-filled studios are the ideal place to experience acupuncture, cupping and Chinese herbal medicine in a friendly enviroment with an easy-to-understand cost structure.

With plans for a national expansion, WTHN currently has two New York City locations. Visits begin with an online questionnaire and you can actually expect your practitioner to have read your medical notes before your arrival. As with traditional Chinese medicine, you are also diagnosed by having your pulse read and your tongue examined. Questions are welcome. The table is heated and gentle music helps you feels calm. And then your treatment begins.

I have had accupunture on numerous occasion, but never in a facility that felt so cheerful. Your sparkling clean room features natural wood surfaces and Turkish bedding. All of WTHN’s “healers” are licensed and many have specialties, including those with expertise in pain management, anxiety, digestive issues and migraine headaches. After the needles are inserted, you can have a much deserved rest as the acupuncture needles begin to do their work. You can choose several healing soundtracks on your headphones and it is not uncommon for patients to nod off during their treamtents.

For added healing, you can also have a cupping treatmeng at the same time. During cupping, small glass cup are suctioned onto your body to release muscle tension and aid in detoxifying your stress. If you are interested in taking a little bit of the experience home with you, your healer can also place small seeds in your outer ear, where additional acupuncture points exist. These can stay for a few extra days of soothing. WTHN also offers Chines herbal medicine. These organic hebal treatments are desinged to help you sleep better (Sleep Well), feel more energized (Daily Detox), feel less stress (Daily Calm) and loosen tense muscles (Head to Toe Relief).

Visitors to the sudio also appreciate the very transparent and reasonable prices of all services. You can book a single acupuncture treatment for $110 or sign up for a monthly subscription that includes two acupuncture treatments and then add on cupping or ear seeds with a bit of a discount.

For those who can’t make it to the studio, WTHN has a terrific online shop where you purchase an acupuncture mat, a face and body cupping kit and an ear seed kit. (Detailed insutructions help turn your home into a mini-studio). WTHN aims to make wellness as easy and accessible as possible for all.
