Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs

 

Acupuncture and herbs are an essential part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a system of health care that has been practiced for over 3,000 years.

 

Our natural vital energy, Qi (pronounced chee), is inherent within all living thing's to promote the body's ability to heal itself.  Qi flows through our bodies along specific pathways, called meridians, similar to the way blood flows through the blood vessels.

 

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treats the whole individual.  An acupuncturist/herbalist examines the root cause of pain and disease, therefore balancing and strengthening the body as a whole, in order to treat the visible signs & symptoms of pain and disease.

 

The combination of acupuncture, herbs, nutrition, life-style counseling, bodywork and exercise are used in the healing process to create balance in all areas of a person's health & wellbeing.
