The
Ancient Science of Chinese Medicine
Chinese Medicine
is a complete medical system that has been used for over 3,000 years
for preventive care, health maintenance and treatment of disease.
The goal of this holistic modality is to restore balance to the
body, mind, emotions and spirit to help recover one's own healing
capacity. Rather than just focusing on symptoms, Chinese Medicine
seeks to determine the deeper, underlying causes of illness.
Acupuncture,
herbs,
massage,
qigong
and dietary
therapy are included in the practice of Chinese Medicine.

The Health Benefits of Acupuncture
The World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture as suitable
for the treatment of over two hundred common disorders including
women's health
conditions like menstrual cramps, PMS, endometriosis, fibroids,
menopause, infertility and pregnancy related issues. Chinese Medicine
is also helpful for the treatment of musculo-skeletal (low back
and neck pain) and neurological disorders, gastrointestinal complaints,
respiratory problems, circulatory disorders, immune disorders, emotional
imbalances, sleep problems, stress, and many other chronic conditions.

Acupuncture is a therapy that adjusts the circulation of energy
or Qi (pronounced chee) flowing through channels in the body. Qi
is the animating force in our bodies that gives us the ability to
move, think, and feel. By restoring balance or harmony to the flow
of Qi, the body returns to its healthy state. Click

The Art of Herbal Medicine
The sophisticated art of Chinese herbal medicine includes the use
of over 300 herbs with its own systematic way of classifying and
prescribing them. They are used to adjust and balance the energy
and blood flow internally. Herbal medical treatment uses and values
the wisdom of the whole plant to interact with the body in a harmonious
fashion, and as a result there are relatively few if any side effects
of using herbs.

Heal Your Body and Mind with Tuina Massage
Tuina
(Twee-na) is a Chinese style of medical massage that uses various
pressure point techniques including kneading, pressing, rolling,
and stretching in an effort to regulate the functions of meridians,
Qi and blood, and internal organs to recover the proper functioning
of muscles, tendons, and joints.

Qigong-Chinese Meditative Exercise
Qigong
(Chee-kung) is an ancient Chinese meditative exercise that is very
popular for improving health. Using slow movements, qigong
helps one focus the mind to move Qi in the body. When Qi flows freely
through the body, it breaks through blockages related to illness
and stress allowing the body to heal, decrease tension, and improve
mental clarity and intuition.
