What Exactly is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a uniquely effective part of Chinese medicine. Utilizing tiny stainless steel needles, your acupuncturist stimulates specific "acupuncture points" to correct imbalances inside the body. This system of medicine uses your vital energy (Qi) flow, directing it along it's pathways (meridians). This enables the body to achieve long lasting positive effects by "teaching" it how to naturally heal itself. Acupuncture is a safe and effective alternative to surgical procedures and medications and can treat anyone of any age and condition- even pregnant women or seriously ill patients. Results may be seen very quickly, in as little as 1 or 2 treatments, although chronic conditions may require a series of treatments.

Chinese herbology is an important part of Traditional Chinese Medicine and can be used alone, or to complement acupuncture treatments.

Herbs are powerful medicinal substances that can accelerate and strengthen the healing process. There are over 10,000 substances in the modern Chinese materia medica, including various parts of plants such as leaves, flowers, seeds or roots.

Western folk herbalism primarily treats diseases or symptoms, such as headaches, runny nose, menstrual pain, etc.

Chinese herbal medicine, when practice as part of TCM, is based on an individualized pattern diagnosis as well as a disease diagnosis.
