Helping the Body Heal Itself
Oriental medicine is derived from a 3,000-year-old theory that applies a whole-person approach to treat a wide range of health conditions. Following an in-depth diagnostic process, a treatment strategy including acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional suggestions and lifestyle modifications is developed.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points of the body to treat health disorders by realigning your energy force, or “Qi.” Needles are used once and then disposed of. Sessions are rarely painful. In fact, most people find the experience relaxing.
Herbal Medicine
Plants are nature’s original pharmacy. Unlike Western medications, which often function by suppressing symptoms, Chinese herbal medicines stimulate the body’s natural healing response to restore normal, balanced physiological function. Herbal prescriptions are tailored to your specific condition.
Homeopathy
The underlying concept of homeopathy is “like cures like” and is based on the principle of similars. Homeopathic remedies are prepared by diluting drugs and other compounds into extremely small doses. They work by stimulating your body’s innate healing abilities and clear your system of imbalances.
Complementary Approaches
Because they are natural, harmonizing paths to healing, people often choose to use acupuncture in tandem with psychotherapy. While acupuncture balances the body’s energy to address physical and emotional symptoms, psychotherapy focuses on behavioral changes to ease stressful life challenges. Both succeed in building a healthier, happier you! |
