Acupuncture

Every acupuncture session starts with a thorough assessment, where the practitioner evaluates the patient’s overall health and identifies the underlying “pattern of disharmony” contributing to the main concern.

This process involves asking in-depth questions and observing physical signs in real time. Once the root cause is determined, the practitioner creates a personalized treatment plan and selects acupuncture points tailored to the patient’s specific pattern.

  • The human body contains an energy-infused meridian system made up of distinct channels. These channels are connected to the body's tissues, organs, and other systems. Acupuncture involves the careful placement of thin needles at specific points along these meridians, stimulating circulation and promoting the flow of energy, or “Qi.”

  • From a modern Western medical standpoint, acupuncture involves inserting extremely thin needles—less than a tenth the size of a sewing needle—into the skin to enhance blood circulation in specific areas. This process stimulates the body's immune and nervous systems, helping to reduce inflammation and trigger the release of endorphins, which relieve pain. Acupuncture also aids in correcting imbalances caused by external factors like stress, toxins, and injuries. By restoring balance, the body is better equipped to heal itself naturally.

Herbal Medicine

WHAT IS CHINES HERBAL MEDICINE?

Chinese herbs are natural individual hers that work together synergistically to achieve specific therapeutic effects. While similar to pharmaceuticals in their medicinal properties, the body metabolizes them much like food. Since they remain in the system for only three to four hours, they require consistent, long-term use for optimal results. Herbal formulations can contain anywhere from 2 to 50 different herbs and are tailored to each individual’s unique needs based on their specific health condition.

WHAT ARE THEY USED FOR?

Chinese herbs can be used for a wide range of health concerns, such as promoting healthy digestion or alleviating lower back pain. Many people turn to these herbs for managing arthritis and autoimmune conditions, as they can help regulate inflammation and support immune system balance. Additionally, specific herbal formulations are available for chronic conditions like asthma, Lyme disease, menstrual disorders, and fertility support.

Fire Cupping

A Chinese medical proverb states that pain arises from the congestion, stagnation, and obstruction of Qi.

In Western medical terms, this can be understood as the buildup of lymph, phlegm, or blood circulation issues.

Chinese cupping therapy is a technique used to release these blockages, promoting the body's natural energy flow and enhancing overall circulation.

  • Body Pain (Neck, Shoulders, Back, etc)
