Ariel Solomon, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M. (NCCAOM), MSTCM, CMT, ADS
Ariel Solomon practices Traditional Chinese Medicine with a special focus on women's health, fertility and sports medicine.
As a woman, Ariel has a deep understanding of the unique needs of women from both a personal and professional prospective. As a devout runner and avid skater, Ariel understands the intense demands athletes place on their bodies, and how to work with the body instead of against it.
Ariel earned her master’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco at the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ACTCM), one of the oldest and most prestigious Chinese medical schools in the country.
While in San Francisco, Ariel studied and worked under Li Fang Liang, world-renowned fertility and women’s health specialist and author of Acupuncture & IVF. While working at Dr. Liang’s clinic, Ariel learned the secrets of applying the long tradition of Chinese medicine to modern women’s health concerns.
Ariel relocated to Eugene, Oregon in 2007 to bring her special blend of acupuncture and herbal medicine to the women of Eugene-Springfield.
Ariel utilizes a time-tested combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage and other healing techniques to bring about health and balance. Ariel focuses on the whole person rather than a disease or symptom, and employs her extensive knowledge of the female body and it's rhythms from both the Western and Traditional Chinese Medical perspectives to provide the highest quality of care possible.
