Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the fine insertion of single-use disposable needles to move the blood and qi (energy) of the body along meridians, like road maps of the body that connect to internal organs, to treat disease.  There are 365 standard acupuncture points used and a selection of these made based on patients diagnosis.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicines are powerful botanical agents (no animal products used) to treat various forms of illness and disease based on using ancient formulas according to an individuals body type and presenting health condition.  Generally, powdered herbs are prescribed for most presenting conditions and require simply mixing with boiling water and drinking.  No preparation or cooking time is required.  Raw herbal medicines for external skin application are prescribed for dermatological (skin) conditions and require preparation and cooking time.  Patent pills (pre-formulated Chinese herbal medicines) are prescribed if the condition is less complex and does not require a specific herbal medicine formula to be dispensed to achieve results.

Nutritional Medicine

Nutritional Medicines are supplements based on high therapeutic dosages of naturally occurring vitamins and minerals found in the body and high therapeutic dosage of Western herbal and medicinal food sources.

 

Nutritional Planning

Based on using food as medicine, and in accordance with what research has now clearly demonstrated, nutritional planning involves review of daily eating patterns and habits to develop a list of suggested foods that promote healing of the body.  This is done in accordance with Chinese medicine theory and a persons differential diagnosis and presenting health condition.
