Services
Acupuncture
Using sterile stainless steel needles at specific meridian points, our acupuncture treatments stimulate the body's natural healing processes. This ancient practice helps restore Qi energy flow and balance the autonomic nervous system. Treatments range from 30-90 minutes, with auricular sessions focusing specifically on ear points for targeted therapeutic effects.
NAET Allergy Elimination
NAET combines acupuncture, acupressure, and kinesiology to address allergies and sensitivities. Through desensitization protocols, our practitioners help strengthen immune responses and alleviate reactions. Each 30-90 minute session may resolve sensitivities through customized treatment plans targeting specific allergens affecting individual patients.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Custom-prescribed herbal formulas address individual health patterns. Our TCM-certified herbalists create balanced combinations using raw herbs, powders, pills, or tea forms. All remedies follow strict quality standards, sourced from suppliers testing for contaminants while preserving traditional efficacy in treating various constitutional imbalances.
Therapeutic Massage
Combining Swedish, deep tissue, and Amma techniques, our therapeutic massages target specific musculoskeletal issues. Sessions lasting 30-60 minutes improve circulation, relieve pain, and promote relaxation. Each treatment adapts to patient needs, integrating meridian theory with modern anatomical understanding for optimal therapeutic outcomes.
Cupping Therapy
Using glass cups to create suction, our cupping treatments increase circulation, reduce inflammation, and release muscle tension. Available in stationary, sliding, or wet techniques, this traditional therapy addresses pain management and respiratory conditions. Sessions often leave temporary markings indicating detoxification and tissue healing processes.
