TCM views local symptoms as an expression of the whole body’s condition.
Focus is not only on the symptom, but also treatment on the source or root of the chief complaint

ACUPUNCTURE (BODY):Insertion of sterile, hair thin needles
at specific points along the interconnected pathways shown to be effective in the treatment of specific health problems. After insertion, the needle is stimulated in a way to either cool, warm, transform, boost, drain and/or move the energetics (Qi) of the patient. Such stimulation helps restore the normal balance and flow of energy so organs and bodily systems can work together in harmony as intended. This sets the stage for the body to repair itself and maintain its own health. (For example, our body heals cuts, broken bones, and the liver repairs itself by generating new liver cells!) ACUPUNCTURE (EAR):Same as above. Ear needles have proven especially effective for all pain, insomnia, anxiety and addictive behaviors (most rehabilitation and recovery centers have added ear acp. to their drug/alcohol program referred to as the NADA protocol).
The ear also contains points for every part of the body including the brain and all organs. *Ear seeds are a needle free option where small metal or herbal seeds are used instead of needles! |
MOXIBUSTION:Burning of Artemisia vulgaris (mugwort or common wormwood) at certain determined areas of the body to promote healing and preventing disease (the smoke and oils from the plant enter through the pores of the skin). The burning of mugwort is just as important as acupuncture and has been used for thousands of years. Effective for all pain syndromes, uterine fibroids, constipation, diarrhea, depression, fatigue, cold hands/feet and much more. *needle free
|
CUPPING:Therapy in which a glass jar is heated and used as a vacuum which anchors to the skin and pulls it upward into the glass (caused by negative pressure). The pores of the skin open, which helps to stimulate the flow of blood, balances and realigns the flow of Qi, breaks up painful obstruction and brings toxins/accumulation to the surface to be drawn out of the body. Effective for asthma, cough, COPD, joint/muscle pain, constipation, toxin accumulation. *needle free
—**This procedure will always leave temporary violet circular bruising formation, this is part of the therapy and usually disappears in a few days. |
ACUPRESSURE BODY WORK (TUI NA):Same as acupuncture but *needle free it involves hands on body treatment with the use of finger pressure to press points on the skin to activate the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Different ancient techniques applied such as range of motion, traction and musculoskeletal stimulation. It helps rebalance the body by relieving tension, boosting the immune system. Like most techniques in TCM, endorphins/enkephalins (chemicals produced by the body that have potent painkilling effects) are triggered. They block pain receptors and increase the flow of blood and oxygen supply.
