Treatments
Acupuncture
Is an over 2000 year old medical modality in which very thin needles are placed into specific points of the body along meridian lines. These lines can be thought of as the highways of the bodys energy which work in concert to sustain and regulate the bodily functions. By manipulating this network via acupuncture the practicioner is able to remove excesses, tonify deficiencies, rebalance this network, and free blockages which are the sources of illness.
Chinese Herbs
The Chinese Pharmacopia is repleat with over 500 single herbs and countless numbers of ancient to modern formulations. The most powerful modality in the Chinese medical system, it can be used to treat and resolve cronic, acute, conditions physical and mental and even autoimmune diseases, as well as improve vigor, youtfulness, and overall energy. If you are ill, we have herbs for that. If you would like to be stronger, perform at a higher level in any area of life, or appear and feel more youthful, we also have herbs for that.
Cupping
Cupping therapy is a method in which suction cups are placed over acupuncture points to pull out any excess or blocked energy from the area and related meridian. Cupping may leave a mark which resembles a bruise which lasts for upward to a few days. This mark is not damage to the body tissue, but is the stagnate blood which has been pulled out of the deeper layers to the surface for the lymph system to dissipate. Cupping therapy is a very effective treatment for pain, injuries, and relief from stress.

Acupressure, Massage, Bodywork
Chinese Medical Massage/Bodywork called Tui Nah is a clothes on method of massage, stretching and joint manipulation. Tui Nah is excellent at relieving stress, stagnate blood, energy and overall tonifying the body. The main advantage of Tui Nah over most other methods of massage lies with the practicioners understanding of the human body. Not only are the muscles and fascia cared for but energy lines are worked in order to reduce excesses and tonify deficiencies in them. In this way the organs and deeper systems in the body are effected and balanced.
