Fertility, Pain Management & Women's Health — Serving Monrovia from Sierra Madre
Traditional Chinese Medicine, Fertility Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine — Serving Arcadia from Sierra Madre
Arcadia has one of the highest concentrations of Traditional Chinese Medicine-literate residents in the San Gabriel Valley. Many of our Arcadia patients grew up with acupuncture and herbal medicine as standard healthcare — not alternative medicine — and arrive knowing exactly what they're looking for. What they find at Taproot is a clinic that meets that expectation: genuine TCM depth, not a westernized approximation of it. We're located in Sierra Madre, a short drive from Arcadia via the 210 — accessible from the Santa Anita Park area, Highland Oaks, Baldwin Stocker, Rancho Santa Anita, and the Temple City border. We offer acupuncture and traditional Chinese herbal medicine as an integrated treatment protocol, which means your herbs and your needling are designed together by the same practitioner for the same goal — not prescribed separately with no coordination between them. Our primary specializations are fertility and reproductive health, women's health, and pain management. For Arcadia patients navigating IVF, IUI, PCOS, or trying to conceive, we offer one of the most clinically focused fertility acupuncture practices in the eastern San Gabriel Valley.

Chinese herbal medicine in Arcadia
Most acupuncture clinics in the area offer herbs as an afterthought — a handful of patent formulas handed over at checkout. At Taproot, herbal medicine is a core part of how we practice. Classical formulas are modified to fit your specific presentation, not applied generically by condition name. If you've received herbal prescriptions before and found them effective, you'll recognize the difference immediately. If you're new to herbs, we explain exactly what you're taking, why, and what to expect. For Arcadia patients who want the full depth of what traditional Chinese medicine offers — not just acupuncture in isolation — Taproot is built for that.
Why Arcadia patients choose Taproot
Arcadia has no shortage of acupuncture options. What it has fewer of is clinics that combine genuine fertility specialization with a serious herbal medicine practice under one roof, run by women practitioners who focus exclusively on reproductive health and women's health alongside pain management. If Mandarin is your preferred language for discussing your health history and treatment, please note that on your booking form and we will do our best to accommodate. Sierra Madre is 10 to 15 minutes from most Arcadia neighborhoods. Free parking at the clinic.
FAQ for Arcadia patients
Do you prescribe traditional Chinese herbal formulas, or only patent herbs?
We prescribe classical formulas modified to your individual presentation. Your practitioner adjusts the formula based on your constitution, current symptoms, and treatment goals — the same approach used in classical TCM practice, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Is Taproot familiar with coordinating acupuncture alongside IVF protocols at local Arcadia and Pasadena fertility clinics?
Yes. We work with patients who are simultaneously under the care of reproductive endocrinologists and are experienced in timing acupuncture sessions to complement IVF retrieval, transfer, and the luteal phase without interfering with your medical protocol.
​
Do you see male patients for fertility?
Yes. Male factor infertility — sperm count, motility, morphology — responds well to acupuncture and herbal medicine. We see both partners, together or separately.
