Acupuncture & Herbs
Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for many different health conditions, disorders, and problems. It has also proven to be an invaluable tool in helping people to prevent future health problems. The Acupuncturist, as a trained Herbalist, will often suggest an herbal supplement to assist with the healing process. We use the highest quality herbs available.
Acupuncture literally means “needle piercing," the practice of inserting very fine needles into the skin to stimulate specific anatomic points in the body (called acupoints) for therapeutic purposes. Along with the usual methods, the practitioner also uses heat, pressure, friction, suction, or impulses of electromagnetic energy to stimulate the points. The acupoints are stimulated to balance the movement of energy (Qi) in the body in order to restore health.
Disease can be caused by the inhibited flow of Qi in our bodies.
Acupuncture works to restore and balance the flow of blocked Qi . Health is more than the absence of disease. It is the free and harmonious flow of Qi which translates into a positive feeling of well-being and vitality from the body, mind and spirit.
Acupuncture is safe and without side-effects.
Its actions are regulatory, encouraging the body to make natural changes from within. Acupuncture can treat acute and chronic conditions and can help in many situations where Western medicine may have limited solutions.
Acupuncture not only treats illness, but can also prevent disease & help build the immune system.
It can help increase energy, preserve youth and promote longevity.
