Acupuncture Acupuncture is an essential part of traditional oriental medicine, a comprehensive system of health care that spans over 3000 years. The World Health Organization recognizes that acupuncture is an appropriate treatment for over 200 clinical conditions. It is also effective for preventative care and health maintenance.
Auricular Acupuncture The use of auricular (ear) acupuncture has been recorded as early as 300 B.C. in the ancient Chinese medical text, The NeJing. The entire body is represented in the ear. Diseases & pain of various parts of the body can be treated by needling corresponding ear points. It can also be a useful tool when assisting people with emotional issues and addictions.
Tui Na Oriental medical massage, like acupuncture, works in conjunction with energy pathways called meridians. Massage techniques are used to unblock constricted energy flow or augment deficient energy, facilitating the free flow of vital energy called Qi (say "chee"). This balances and circulates energy, thereby restoring the body's innate vitality.
Cupping Cups are applied & either left stationary for a period of time or are moved along a given area to help move Qi and Blood in the meridian. It also produces a warming effect. Some indications helped with cupping are: Pain management, Common cold, cough, asthma, headache & dizziness, to name a few.
Therapeutic Bodywork Therapeutic bodywork encompasses various modalities such as dance movement therapy, reiki, energy work, breath work, and yoga. It facilitates body and mind integration. Experiential body work can be used to increase mindfulness, reduce stress, and enhance the overall enjoyment of life.
Food Therapy Food therapy can be used to support the healing process. Recommendations in dietary habits based on oriental medicine help prevent recurrence of illness or pain.
