Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient healing technique that understands and describes the patterns of energy that flow throughout a system of meridians in our body. This procedure involves the insertion of very fine needles into the body at specified points. These points have been studied over a period of 2,000 years and have been proven as an effective method of treatment. Acupuncture is usually pain-free. Occasionally the patient may feel a slight stinging or distending sensation. Generally, needles are left in place for 15 to 20 minutes.

Moxibustion (Heat)
Heat is a common remedy in most societies where it is applied to improve blood circulation.  Heat might be prescribed in a variety ways, the most common being Moxibustion. "Moxa" is made from the dried mugwort herb.  Rolled and lit ("bustion"), it can be applied either to the handle of the needle or rotated gently over the skin to apply heat.

Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicines are targeted to the specified needs of each patient and can be delivered in the form of teas, powders and tablets. Herbal medicinal plants have been used by all societies throughout history. Herbal medicine consists mainly of plans, minerals and herbs including roots, barks, flowers and other natural materials that contain minerals, which help the body's, own natural healing processes. They are pure and natural and contain no synthetic chemicals. Thus, there are few side effects. Each formula (prescription) is especially tailored to match each patient's specific symptoms.
