Acupuncture

An Ancient Healing Tradition

The state of health in the individual can be enhanced by acupuncture, a process of stimulating the vital energy by inserting small, sterile needles just beneath the skin. This helps to direct the flow of energy in the body, much like a traffic light directs the flow of traffic. Needle insertion is usually painless and once the needles are inserted the individual usually experiences a deep state of relaxation while stimulation of the healing process occurs. Often the patient reports a sensation of warmth, tingling, or an energized sensation near the site of the needles. This is termed the “Qi sensation”.

The science of Chinese Herbology is an ancient tradition of blending herbs with varying properties into a formula which facilitates the healing processes by unlocking stagnation, nourishing blood, or tonifying body systems of energy. Therapeutic Chinese body work may include massage (tui na), Qi Gong, Reiki and other techniques. The movement of energy can be facilitated with other techniques such as:

  • Cupping
  • Gua Sha
  • Electrical Stimulation
  • Plum Blossom Needles
