Acupuncture
is the placement
of disposable, hair-thin needles into specific points along
energy channels on the body. Qi flows within these meridians or
pathways. Stimulating qi flow balances a person to relieve
symptoms and eliminate an illness.
Electrical Acupuncture is
the attachment of an electrical current to certain points of the
body to generate a slight pulsation through the needle into the
muscle and meridian pathway. This eases tense muscles and moves
qi and blood in a contained area or within a meridian to reduce
pain. Electrical acupuncture is also used in facelifts to expand
the collagen in your face, reduce wrinkles and lift the skin.
Chinese Herbal Medicine combines a variety of
herbs to create a unique formula for each patient. A customized
herbal prescription is administered based on the individual’s
symptoms and constitution. Chinese herbal medicine’s goal is to
treat the source of a problem and eradicate it.
Nutritional Counseling
is used to support our treatments so that you will receive the
most benefit from them. Chinese nutrition offers a different
perspective from Western theories with regard to a person’s
constitution and certain foods’ medicinal benefits. We use a
combination of Western and Chinese theories to guarantee optimal
results for each of our clients.
Cupping is the
placement of glass or plastic cups on the skin to create a
suction, which then helps to free toxins and move qi and blood.
Cupping is an excellent way to treat muscle tightness, arthritis
or pain, fevers, colds and flu, asthma, and lung weakness.
Moxibustion is burning of the herb ai ye (mugwort)
on needles or over specific points of the body. This process
facilitates qi and blood movement and warms channels and the
body. Moxibustion is highly beneficial for those with fatigue,
digestive disorders, and injuries. The Chinese people use moxa
daily to stay healthy, active and ensure longevity
