Why Chinese Medicine?
It treats the body as a whole and helps with
Pain
From migraines to plantar fascitis, Chinese medicine offers a natural, non-invasive option to manage pain and inflammation from head to toe.
Chronic Illness
Chinese medicine can help alleviate symptoms incurred with cancer treatment, chronic fatigue, diabetes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke and heart disease.
Stress & Mental Health
Stress and emotional trauma can be the root cause of many ailments. Acupuncture is effective in relieving depression, anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, and addiction.
Women's Health
Chinese medicine helps with hormone regulation through all phases of a woman's life. It alleviates symptoms associated with PMS, difficult periods, pregnancy, pre- and post-menopause and assists with fertility treatments.
Immune Support
Acupuncture creates an immune response to help the body battle asthma, allergies, sinusitis, infections, and the common cold.
Digestion
Chinese medicine can improve digestive health by relieving acid reflux, constipation and diarrhea, and help manage the symptoms of IBS, ulcers, colitis, and Crohn's disease.
Services
Chinese medicine includes the use of acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, cupping and bodywork to promote optimal health and wellness.
Acupuncture
Acupunture is the use of very fine needles to stimulate healing and energy flow in designated areas of the body. It can be offered in private or community settings, and can include the use of electric stimulation and heat therapy.
Herbal Medicine and Nutrition
Herbal medicine and nutrition involves the use of herbs, natural supplements, and healthy foods to aid the body in resolving internal disharmonies and eliminating pathogens.
Cupping & Bodywork
Cupping and bodywork are used to remove blockages in the body's energetic pathways and to expel toxins from cellular tissue. It also smoothes and regulates the movement of fluids and nutrients throughout the body.
