Acupuncture

For thousands of years, acupuncture has been used to restore, promote and maintain optimal health. In ancient China, practitioners discovered meridians in the body, each meridian containing it’s own specialized points. Today these meridians and points are researched and used to heal all over the world! Acupuncture uses fine needles at certain points on the body’s meridians that are chosen by the practitioner according to the imbalance of the body. The tip of the needle meets the qi, or energy, in the meridian in order to create balance between yin and yang, and to promote the free flow of qi. Often times when there is discomfort, there is stagnation of qi in that area of the body. Acupuncture is able to move the stuck qi and alleviate chronic or acute pain. Acupuncture is also used for many other health concerns such as infertility, mental and emotional disorders, cardiovascular disease, asthma, allergies, and digestive issues to name only a few.

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is the therapeutic use of plants, and is prescribed based on the individuals needs. Herbs are all natural and of the highest quality. Many formulas consist of commonly known herbs such as dong quai and goji berries. Different herbs have been effectively used for a wide range of medicinal purposes including pain relief, hormone balancing, sleep enhancement, improved digestion, and stress relief.

Moxibustion

Moxibustion is a Traditional Chinese Medical technique that involves the burning of mugwort, a leafy, warming herb to facilitate healing. Moxibustion has been used for healing purposes throughout Asia for thousands of years. The purpose of moxibustion is to strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of Qi, and enhance overall vitality and health.

Cupping

Cupping is a simple and effective therapeutic technique that warms and moves qi and blood in the meridians. Cupping can be used for headaches and dizziness, cough, asthma, pain, stomach discomfort, acute sprains, the common cold and menstrual pain.

Facial Rejuvenation reduces fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, sagging and discoloration of the face while simultaneously supporting overall health.

Laser Touch One

Low Level Laser Therapy (aka cold laser) is a well-established therapy for pain relief and rehabilitation of numerous injuries. The laser light penetrates tissue where it is absorbed by cells and effectively stimulates healing and rapid pain relief. Micro-Current Electrical Stimulation stimulates the production of endorphins, which are the body’s natural pain relievers. As a result, local physiological changes become evident, namely muscle relaxation and improved circulation. When this occurs, oxygen flows more freely and promotes natural healing.
