“I met Brigitta at TORN networking group a few months ago. I was excited to find out she was a licensed acupuncturist. We have been working together now for a couple of weeks. My goals are to manage stress, lose weight and have balance. After just one full treatment I noticed I had lost 3 lbs and kept it off. After the next treatment I lost another 2 lbs. so far after 3 session I have successfully kept the 5 lbs

I went to the doctor only to receive pain medication. 6 weeks later, still having pain went back to the doctor in which he told me I needed physical therapy. Physical Therapy didn’t work, here it is October and still in pain. I found the 12 Meridians Acupuncture in Columbus, Ohio and made an appointment. By this time I was still skeptic about

Immediately I felt calm when she put one of the needles in a certain point, but after a few treatments, it lasted longer. I look forward to treatments and am very thankful to be calm at home with my family. I no longer feel as stressed out about things that I did before. I

I wasn’t sleeping well, I was so self-conscious about my face that I didn’t want to leave the house. Just 3 weeks later, I now feel better than any time I can remember. I have the energy to do activities. My skin is healing well. My great thanks to Brigitta Moskova, Acupuncturist.”

“As an avid extreme sportiest, for most of my Life I have experienced backpain, breaks and other chronic pain. I thought I would just have to live with it. Now after only a few sessions with Brigitta I am sleeping better, my pain is more manageable and I have increased flexibility of motion. Acupuncture has given me a renewed quality of Life.”

“I injured my neck at work. As a nurse I rarely ember to take time out for myself. I woke the next morning with a stiff neck and called Brigitta for a session. I experienced an immediate instant relief of over 30% and complete 100%relief after the next day’s session. Combining white flower oil and cupping did the trick.”

I enlisted 12 Meridians Acupuncture for my first experience with acupuncture to help with relaxation, sinus issues, and minor joint pain and I’ve been a regular ever since. She was amazing at making me feel comfortable and relaxed with my first experience and every session with her has yielded wonderful results.Her extensive knowledge, expertise, and passion for healing is a skill set not many can claim but Brigitta most definitely does!”

Before my acupuncture treatments, it hurt when I walked and I had to bend forward when I walked! Now, after a month of treatments, I can walk straight up and without any pain!! Also, my sciatica in my leg is healed.

I never have had acupuncture done before and was very new to it all, but was recommended by my doctor. After looking at Brigitta’s website I gave it a try and am very thankful I did. Not only did the acupuncture help my pain immensely, but the office and overall experience was very positive. Brigitta

Traditional Chinese Medicine
What Is Moxibustion?

Moxibustion is a traditional therapy rooted in East Asian medicine that involves the application of heat to specific points on the body using moxa, a dried form of the herb Artemisia argyi (commonly known as mugwort). The goal is simple but powerful: warm the body, stimulate circulation, and support the natural flow of energy, often referred to as qi, to promote healing and overall well-being. continue reading
When Your Next Meal is Part of the Treatment Plan

For many chronic health issues, everyday exposures matter most. Food isn’t only fuel. It’s raw material, signaling molecules, and a daily set of “instructions” your body reads repeatedly.
The idea of food as medicine isn’t new. It shows up in traditional healing systems, in public health, and increasingly in modern clinical research. The most useful way to think about it today is practical and evidence-based:
- Food can reduce risk (primary prevention).
- Food can support treatment alongside medical care (adjunct therapy).
- Food can change symptoms by affecting inflammation, blood pressure, lipids, glucose, the gut microbiome, and even brain signaling.
It won’t replace necessary medications or procedures. But in many cases, it can meaningfully shift the trajectory of health and sometimes quickly. continue reading
Cupping + Acupuncture: More Than the Sum of its Parts
Do any of these scenarios sound like your life: a stubborn knot between the shoulder blades, a low-back flare that keeps returning, or a neck that feels “stuck” after long hours at a desk? Acupuncture needles can calm the nervous system and change pain signaling and cupping can mechanically decompress tight tissue and improve local circulation. Used together thoughtfully and safely they’re often paired to help pain move from “sharp and guarded” to “dull and workable,” and then to “resolved or manageable.” continue reading
Chinese & Japanese Acupuncture: Two Traditions, One Lineage

Both Japanese and Chinese acupuncture spring from the same classical East Asian medical roots, yet they diverged over centuries into distinct clinical styles. In Japan, techniques evolved toward gentler, highly tactile methods. And in China, the practice of acupuncture tended to emphasize stronger needle sensation and standardized point prescriptions within Traditional Chinese Medicine, also known as TCM. While some have their preferences, neither is “better” than the other. The right choice often depends on the patient’s condition, sensitivity, and their goals. continue reading
What is Five Element Acupuncture?

Five Element Acupuncture is a classical style of East Asian medicine that organizes diagnosis and treatment around the dynamic interplay of five phases/elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Each element is associated (in this framework) with organ networks, emotions, sensory patterns, and seasonal cycles. Treatment aims to restore harmony among these elements when one becomes predominant or deficient. continue reading
Stillness in Motion: The Healing Power of Qi Gong at Home

Life can seem overwhelming and unmanageable at times. Everyone is looking for the secret self-care miracle that helps us cope. What may have been a desperate Google search for “natural anxiety relief” has become a daily anchor; the secret to staying calm, focused, and physically energized.
A growing number of people are turning to Qi Gong, an ancient Chinese mind-body practice, for its healing benefits. And more importantly, they are practicing it at home, making wellness a simple part of daily life without special equipment, gym memberships, or medication. continue reading
