If conventional medicine has not given you real relief, Traditional Chinese Medicine takes a different approach, treating the root cause rather than just the symptoms.
At Orlando Alternative Health, Dr. Jon Kukor combines custom herbal formulas with acupuncture and dry needling to create a treatment plan built around your specific condition and your body’s specific pattern.
Herbal medicine is a gentle yet highly effective approach to holistic healing.
How It Works
Your herbal formula is custom-compounded through Evergreen Herbs and designed to work alongside your acupuncture and dry needling treatments, so your body keeps making progress between appointments.
As your condition evolves, your formula evolves with it.
Conditions We Treat with TCM Herbal Medicine
TCM herbal medicine is particularly effective for chronic conditions that conventional medicine struggles to manage long-term. At Orlando Alternative Health, our primary focus areas include:
Migraines and Chronic Headaches
Many migraine patients cycle through preventive medications that either stop working or come with side effects they cannot tolerate. TCM identifies the underlying pattern driving your migraines, whether that is Liver Qi stagnation, blood deficiency, or wind-heat invasion, and targets it with a formula designed to reduce frequency, intensity, and duration over time.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Neuropathy responds well to a combined approach. Herbal formulas that promote circulation and reduce neuroinflammation work alongside acupuncture and dry needling to address both the nerve damage and the pain signals it generates.
Perimenopause and Menopause
Hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause create a cascade of symptoms including hot flashes, sleep disruption, mood changes, and brain fog that HRT does not always fully address. TCM herbal formulas have a centuries-long track record of supporting hormonal transitions naturally, and can be used safely alongside or in place of conventional hormone therapy.

Chinese herbal medicine works well alongside acupuncture and dry needling as part of a comprehensive care plan. For patients interested in nutrition and lifestyle support, Dr. Kukor also offers nutrition therapy and professional grade supplement guidance.
