From Darkness to Light: Healing Through Chinese Medicine

Donate to the Israeli Association for Chinese Medicine IACM

In the aftermath of the October 7th massacre, Israel has been plunged into a period of profound grief and trauma. As a nation, we are struggling to find a way forward, and the emotional toll is immense. At the Israeli Association for Chinese Medicine (IACM), we have taken it upon ourselves to bring healing and relief to those most affected by these tragic events.

I am Zev Alpert, a proud member of the IACM and the founder of Alpert Acupuncture. Like many of my colleagues, I have seen firsthand how the trauma of this period has exacerbated the stress and anxiety in individuals who were already struggling with health and mental disorders. The added burden is overwhelming for many, resulting in physical symptoms like chronic back pain, insomnia, and emotional difficulties such as heightened anxiety and trauma.

At Alpert Acupuncture, we understand the challenges of balancing the demands of work, family, and life in a world that seems to move faster every day. This fast-paced environment often leads to chronic health issues, both physical and emotional. Whether you are experiencing chronic pain, insomnia, or emotional distress, our personalized treatments are designed to meet your unique needs. Located in Zikhron Yaakov, just 45 minutes south of Haifa and 25 minutes north of Hadera, our clinic is here to help you take the first step toward feeling better.

What Is the IACM Doing?

The IACM, the largest complementary medicine association in Israel, has been at the forefront of efforts to bring relief to displaced Israelis, soldiers, and frontline medical personnel. Our volunteer therapists are working across the country, providing acupuncture and holistic treatments to those suffering from the physical and emotional aftermath of war.

For many, the trauma of losing their homes and loved ones has compounded existing health conditions. Our therapists are offering support to individuals who were already dealing with health and mental disorders, and who now face an even greater burden. The personalized care we provide is tailored to each individual’s needs, ensuring that our treatments have a lasting impact.

Volunteering in Hospitals and Safe Zones

We have over 30 Chinese medicine therapists volunteering in hospitals, treating wounded patients and providing much-needed relief. In addition, our volunteers are treating displaced Israelis living in temporary accommodations, offering holistic care to those who have lost everything.

Relieving Stress and Trauma in Our Community

The events of October 7th have left deep emotional scars on our nation. The stress and trauma are felt by all of us, and for those who were already struggling with anxiety, depression, or chronic pain, the burden is even heavier. Our therapists are working tirelessly to address these issues, providing acupuncture, herbal treatments, and stress-relief techniques to help alleviate the suffering in our community.
