Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional form of medicine from China that dates back some 3,000 or more years. It is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. This is done by inserting very fine, disposable needles into specific acupuncture points along the body and possibly adding heat or electrical stimulation to the needle.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine is an integral component of Chinese Medicine along with acupuncture. Chinese herbs are sourced from plants, animals and minerals and are considered one of the oldest forms of health care.

Chinese herbs are used to treat a wide variety of illnesses or painful conditions. Herbs can help the body’s systems to heal and work more efficiently. Herbs are prescribed based on individual symptom patterns and provide a well-balanced treatment for the patient. Herbal medicine can be a strong medicine, so it is important to follow the dosage instructions carefully.
