ANCIENT WISDOM – POWERFUL HEALING

Traditional Chinese Medicine has been practiced and refined by Chinese healers for the past 5,000 years.  The practice is based on the dynamic interplay between the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of each patient. This ancient tradition knows that the body can heal itself when given the harmonious and supportive conditions that nurture health.

Also, current medical research has shown that Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are effective medical treatments. And Traditional Chinese Medicine converges with the emerging science of integrative, or functional medicine,  as they both maintain that any illness or symptom is based on disturbances within the whole person, i.e., body, mind, and spirit.

The goal of therapy is to treat the root cause of disease and not just the symptoms. Physical, mental, or emotional symptoms are seen as an expression of imbalance, and they naturally resolve when balance is restored.

In the last decade we have expanded the application of acupuncture to include a ‘needless’ technique which uses vibratory frequencies in the form of micro-current, sound, and or light to stimulate the acupuncture points and balance the energy.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has listed 104 conditions that may be benefited from acupuncture treatment and in addition, the National Institute of Health (NIH) concluded that acupuncture can help with: post-operative and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting, addiction and stroke rehabilitation, anti-depression, anxiety attacks, mouth ulcers, chronic fatigue, and low immunity.

MERIDIAN ASSESSMENT

In Chinese Medicine “Qi” (pronounced chi) is the Life-Force energy that sustains your body, and it flows through channels that are called Meridians.  However,  the meridians are not physical channels like blood vessels.  Instead, they are energetic channels.  The meridians have not been identified by medical science, but that makes them no less real.  They are a link between your body and your consciousness which enables you to be aware of your internal and external experience day to day. And consciousness has not been defined or explained even though philosophers, mystics, theologians, and scientists have been trying for millennia. Basically, the meridian network connects and communicates with all the organs in your body, distributing life force energy, and, like consciousness, there can be health and evolution, or  disease and degeneration.

ACUGRAPH EXAM

ACUPUNCTURE

This restored balance results in increased circulation, pain reduction, improved overall health and increased feelings of wellbeing.
