ACUPUNCTURE
CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE
Acupuncture is a recognized and respected alternative for treating a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions. Acupuncture supports your whole body by returning it to a state of homeostasis, boosting immune function, increasing circulation, decreasing inflammation, and releasing endorphins (innate painkillers).
During a treatment, hair-thin, single-use, sterile needles are inserted in specific points selected by a licensed acupuncturist in order to activate your body's own healing powers. Each treatment is tailored to the patient's needs, and treatment plans are based on an evidence-based approach.
​
Accessory techniques, such as moxibustion, cupping, gua sha, and infrared heat therapy, can augment your acupuncture treatment or can work alone to treat a number of different conditions.
Chinese herbs are medicine - with few or no side effects. Herbs can be prescribed as decoctions (herbal medicinal tea), granules (like instant coffee), pills, tinctures, and topicals. Chinese herbs are often used together with acupuncture to enhance the therapeutic effects of treatment but are a stand-alone discipline of Chinese medicine. We have a practitioner that is specially trained in herbal medicine for dermatological conditions.
Food is medicine - eating well is foundational to your overall wellness. Functional nutrition honors the fact that food is not only fuel for your body but also an extremely useful tool to help us address the underlying cause of your condition. We incorporate nutritional therapy and supplementation recommendations to make lasting lifestyle changes for better health.

BODYWORK
​Cupping and gua sha are techniques that have been part of Chinese medicine for thousands of years and can be used to liberate the body from pathology lying deep within the tissues. Like a deep tissue massage, cupping and gua sha help the body pull fresh oxygenated blood into an area with congested circulation, release toxins, increase lymphatic flow, relax tight muscles, reduce inflammation, and aid recovery. These are effective stand-alone therapies used for a wide variety of conditions or to augment the primary treatment plan.

Massage promotes healthy soft tissues by increasing circulation, improving the delivery of nutrients to soft tissue for growth and repair, and improving mood and sleep while facilitating the removal of metabolic waste.
