Services We Offer
Acupuncture, a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine practiced for over 2,500 years, harnesses the body’s natural energy flow—known as Qi—to promote healing and balance. At Ashra Integrative Medicine in Austin, we skillfully use the gentle insertion of thin, sterile needles at precise points on the body to stimulate this vital energy. This time-honored therapy supports pain relief, reduces stress, and enhances overall well-being, helping you restore harmony within your body and mind.
At Ashra Integrative Medicine in Austin, TX, we offer personalized herbal formulas crafted to meet your unique health needs. Unlike pharmaceuticals that often target symptoms with isolated compounds, our natural herbal remedies—made from carefully selected roots, stems, leaves, seeds, and flowers—work synergistically to restore balance to your body’s internal systems. These time-tested formulas support organ function, strengthen immune health, and address chronic issues such as allergies, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and fatigue, all while minimizing side effects and promoting holistic wellness.
At Ashra Integrative Medicine, we offer various cupping therapies—including traditional fire glass cupping and modern silicone cupping—to bring you the full range of benefits this ancient technique provides. Cupping is a non-invasive treatment that uses suction to draw blood to the skin’s surface, promoting detoxification, reducing inflammation, and enhancing lymphatic circulation. This powerful therapy effectively relieves conditions such as back and neck pain, muscle stiffness, and respiratory issues like asthma, helping you feel renewed and balanced.
Looking for expert Gua Sha and Tuina manual therapies? You’ve come to the right place! These hands-on treatments are designed to stimulate the flow of Qi and blood through the body’s meridians. They help relieve musculoskeletal pain, reduce stiffness, ease stress-related tension, and support your overall health and well-being.
E-Stim, or electrical stimulation (also known as electroacupuncture), is a modern complement to traditional acupuncture. During this treatment, electrodes are attached to acupuncture needles, and a mild electrical current is applied. With this treatment of ours, patients suffering from chronic pain, neuropathy, and muscle spasms benefit immensely. This treatment is also recommended by us for athletes for injury recovery, as it accelerates tissue repair and promotes muscle relaxation.
In modern-day healthcare, accessibility is paramount, and at Ashra Integrative Medicine, we recognize the importance of providing care no matter where you are. Our Telehealth services offer virtual consultations for patients who may not be able to visit our clinic in person. Through secure online platforms, we can assess your condition, provide personalized herbal prescriptions, and guide you through self-care techniques, including acupressure and diet recommendations.

Google Business Reviews
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started seeing Ashtau at Ashra Integrative Medicine 2-3 months before I started IVF, and I'm SO glad that I did! It's still early, but I'm so incredibly grateful that I found Ashra because I'm certain their work helped me achieve a positive result. I've heard that acupuncture can help increase the odds of implantation in fertility treatments, but I never really knew if it was true. Well, for me it was! Ashtau and her partner Sierra cared so much about my journey and worked so hard with me twice a week to get me to where I needed to be and I cannot express my gratitude enough. Ashtau is kind, caring, sweet, loving, and great at what she does! I felt like I was in great hands every step of the way and I cannot recommend Ashra enough. I felt so relaxed after every session and like I had a true partner alongside me pushing me towards a big goal. I highly recommend Ashra if you're going wanting to start your family!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ashtau- I can’t thank you enough for helping me through this healing process with Bells Palsy. I truly attribute your work to helping my Bells Palsy. Though it was a hard process with the type of pain I was experiencing from Bells Palsy; you really made it a point to figure out how to help that as well and to make sure I was supported. You are so kind, thoughtful, gentle, knowledgeable, and so thorough. Your techniques were very thought out and I felt very supported by you. Anyone who experiences Bells Palsy I highly recommend going to Ashtau. She was absolutely amazing and I wouldn’t have know what to do without her. I’m still going to here for virtual to help more with my process and I am so, so thankful for her!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so grateful with Gabriela, I started taking my husband a month ago, he has cancer and there's a lot of stuff he couldn't do with this sickness, but as soon as he starts work with Gabriela, he has improved so much, he's already walking, he's a having a better lifestyle.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience with Ashra. I have always suffered from lower back, neck pain and swollen ankles. I worked all day then after school activities for my kids I did not catch a break. Stress level was high and had a hard time sleeping. After my first appointment I felt relieved. I went for a few more sessions and my body feels completely different. My energy levels went up and stress went down.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ashtau was professional and knowledgeable. I went in for chronic knee pain and stress management. After some quick background information she asked me questions about and performed assessments for my issue that other health care providers never have. Throughout the session she was very attentive. After the session she made sure to explain in a very accessible way what was causing my issue and gave me some simple daily homework to perform. I will be going back.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went in to see Ashtau today for a plethora of different issues. One of which was a trigger finger that had gotten so bad that I had to use my other hand to pry open my bent finger. After Ashtau made sure she understood all of my issues including my trigger finger she applied different treatments to the different areas. She made sure I was comfortable during and after the needle insertions/withdrawals. About an hour after I left her office I was able to bend my finger like any other finger. In addition to the trigger finger she also helped treat pain I have i my shoulder from an accident a few years ago that caused nerve and tears in my shoulder. With my job I also had a build up of stress that she was able to help lessen with her treatments. Would definitely recommend anyone to go see Ashtau for a treatment that will leave you wishing Western medicine practitioners cared as much as she did/does. With actual results afterwards!!
