Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been used as a form of healthcare for approximately 3,000 years.  There are as many as 2,000 acupuncture points located on the surface of the skin which are connected by pathways, or meridians.  These meridians allow for the circulation of Qi (pronounced "chee"), the substance or energy that keeps us alive, throughout the body.  Acupuncture is the insertion of needles into the skin at different acupuncture points to access and redirect the Qi in order to restore balance.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is one of the oldest and most popular forms of healthcare.  In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it plays an integral role in one's healing.  Herbal medicine includes the use of seeds, berries, roots, leaves, bark or flowers combined into a formula created specifically for each patient to bring their body into health.      Chinese Herbal Medicine has been derived from years of observation as well as clinical trial and error.  The earliest discovered recorded histories of Chinese Herbal Medicine come from the 11th century BCE in the form of listings of medicinal substances, case studies and information regarding toxic reactions.
