A Member Resource for Sharing that Initiates Caring
AACMA’s Facebook page is a resource and member service designed to inform the public of our medicine, its variety of applications and treatments to match both Chinese and western medicine diagnoses and to direct the health consuming public to our practitioner search function to contact an AACMA member to investigate what our medicine can do for their healing.
Our reach via social media is ever increasing which means more patient traffic through our members’ clinics - initiating the caring.
If you or your patients have reservations about Facebook, you can still access AACMA posts without joining Facebook. Use this link https://www.facebook.com/AACMA/
Share it with your patients, family and friends and encourage them to also share with everyone they know.
This sharing spreads the information about our medicine, its benefits for treating so many conditions, that the general public would not know to even consider acupuncture or herbs as a viable treatment option for them.
We know that we can treat much more than the general conditions we are known for like pain, musculoskeletal conditions and female fertility issues. It’s way past time to make it known much, much more widely about our healing skills and their comprehensive application.
AACMA is providing the resource - information for you to share to promote acupuncture and herbal medicine. New information is posted every Monday- check it out.
Help spread the word about our extraordinary medicine - just too good not to share.
