Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been effective in treating chronic and painful debilitating disorders, which have no clear explanation or origin. Many who are not experiencing disease also seek treatment to maximize their wellness and maintain balance. The greatest reason to begin acupuncture treatment is to cultivate vitality and radiant health and to stimulate the tremendous healing power of the body, mind, and spirit.
This highly effective system of medical care is based on natural laws, which govern the movement of vital life-giving energy, both in nature and in the body. This energy, called “chi”, moves through the body in precise channels supporting functions of the body, mind, and spirit. When the chi is moving dis-harmoniously, imbalance begins to surface in the form of symptoms like pain. To address the underlying cause of a condition, these symptoms are viewed in relationship to the totality of a person. The gentle insertion of hair-thin needles at specific points along the channels helps restore harmony.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine is one of the main forms of treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM’s written history stretches back at least 2,500 years. Although acupuncture had been the first Chinese medical modality to gain acceptance in the West, Chinese herbal medicine is quickly becoming one of the most popular and effective complementary therapies.
Chinese herbology compliments acupuncture treatments and in some cases is superior to acupuncture. Chinese herbal medicine is a poly-pharmacy, meaning multiple herbs are combined into one formula. By using this form of medicine the herbs synergistically work together to heighten the effect of each medicinal or counteract any undesirable effect. Patients find that results are achieved more quickly when acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are used together.
The Chinese materia medica (a pharmacological reference book used by TCM practitioners) contains hundreds of medicinal substances-primarily plants, but also some minerals and animal products-classified by their perceived action in the body. Different parts of plants such as the leaves, roots, stems, flowers, and seeds are used. Usually, herbs are combined in formulas and given as teas, capsules, tinctures, or powders.
