TRADITIONAL ORIENTAL MEDICINE

Acupuncture subscribes to the ancient view that the basis of good health is the harmonious balance of qi- the vital life force that empowers the body. Acupuncture entails the insertion of fine, sterile 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 energy in the meridian in order to create balance, and to promote the free flow of qi.

Today, acupuncture is considered an excellent alternative or complementary treatment for anyone. Unlike conventional medicine, acupuncture is not directed toward a specific illness or symptom, rather, it targets the whole body to activate its healing systems in order to restore the balance.

Often time, when there is discomfort, pain, or disease, there is stagnation of qi in that area of the body. Acupuncture prompts the stagnant qi to move freely, thereby alleviating chronic or acute pain. It can also address many other health concerns disorders, asthma, allergies, and digestive issues, just to name a few.

Acupuncture focuses on existing illness, their causes, and is also an excellent preventive modality.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture encourages the body to promote natural healing and improve body functions. Acupuncture is recognized by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to be effective in the treatment of a wide variety of medical problems.

Electro Acupuncture

Electro-acupuncture is actually very similar to traditional acupuncture, but the needles are attached to a device that delivers gentle electrical pulses between two points. This helps restore the healthy flow of energy through your body, removing any blockages and cleaning out stagnant areas, thus creating a stronger and clearer experience of health and well-being.

Cupping

Cupping is remarkably effective in treating a variety of disorders by stimulating blood and energy flow. Recent studies have shown cupping’s effectiveness in reducing pain intensity and providing positive short-term benefits. The pulling action of the cups engage the parasympathetic nervous system, which allows for a deep relaxed state. It can also help with detoxification and weight loss, in addition to improving skin tone.

Gua Sha

Gua sha is a natural, alternative therapy that involves scraping your skin with a massage tool to improve your circulation. Gua sha releases unhealthy elements from injured areas and stimulates blood flow and healing.
