Acupuncture
Report
When it comes to the body, there is no truer statement than "everything is connected." Specifically, our bodies are connected via connective tissue known as fascia. Fascia wraps around organs, bones and muscles and is what gives are bodies shape. The fascia network is a messenger system like the nervous system; in fact, the nervous system, blood vessel and lymph all travel through fascia.
Herbs
Report
Herbs are an integral aspect of a Chinese Medicine Treatment. Herbs greatly enhance the effect of acupuncture because they can boost internal deficiencies as well as eliminate harmful substances that accumulate pathologically. Customized herbal formulas are based on ancient combinations that are cooked together into a tea.
Tui Na
Report
Tui Na is a manual bodywork technique similar to massage that utilizes Chinese channel theory as well as ideas of supplementing, draining, and harmonizing to promote the smooth flow of Qi. As a complement to acupuncture, I combine Tui Na methods with Western thoughts on anatomy, physiology, and orthopedic injury to manually target areas where injuries and tension have created stagnation and pain.
Moxibustion
Report
Sometimes, we need to get things really moving to unblock and detoxify your system. That's when it's time to add moxibustion to your acupuncture treatments. Moxibustion is the ancient method of burning dried mugwort leaves, or "Mogusa, " on or near the skin. Mogusa can increase blood flow to areas of injury and warm areas where cold accumulates.
Diet
Report
Western medicine has only discovered in the last century what Chinese doctors have known for millennia. The foundation of a healthy diet is regularity and balance. You should eat calmly, slowly, and at regular intervals throughout the day. We separate food into flavors: salty, bitter, sweet, spicy, sour, and bland - each of which acts on the body in a specific way.
