...I don't know if it is appropriate for my ______________________ (write in your illness, condition, or concern here).  Acupuncture and herbal medicine are complete medical systems from China covering every disease imaginable, and have been for over two thousand years.  However, like all human medical systems they are better able to treat some illnesses than other illnesses.  Some of the things that Chinese medicine is able to treat are surprising to Westerners.  Take the common cold for example.  We have been told over and over by Western medical science that there are no cures for the common cold, yet Chinese medicine is highly successful at stopping an oncoming cold or reducing its intensity and the length of recovery time.  Diseases that Western medicine finds difficult to treat are often the kind of diseases that Chinese medicine is successful at treating.  The message here is that Western medicine does not have a monopoly on the ability to treat disease.  If you have a condition that Western medicine has found to be difficult to treat, then perhaps now is the time to see if it can be made better by Chinese medicine.  If you are still hemming and hawing then come in for a free consultation to find out if Chinese medicine is appropriate for you.
