Everyone, including you, can benefit from Chinese Medicine. Often our lives are so busy that we don't get a moment to think about what may be hurting or not feeling well. We may feel like things are out of balance, but don't know what to do about it. By taking an hour out of your life and coming in for a treatment, you can give your body the break it needs to relax, release, and rebalance. Chinese Medicine, which consists of acupuncture, herbs, and bodywork, have been used effectively for over 4000 years to help patients relieve muscle pains, injuries, anxiety, depression, and nutritional imbalances, and nourish the body, mind, and spirit. Please make an appointment today to see how Chinese Medicine can benefit you. You'll discover that it's exactly what you've been looking for. |

| Acupuncture | |||||||||||||||

Acupuncture is holistic medicine. It is based on evaluating the person as a whole–this includes looking at the person's body, mind, and spirit. In Chinese medicine, energy is referred to as Qi (pronounced chee). Over the centuries, Chinese doctors have mapped out the flow of Qi in the body in what are called channels, pathways, or meridians. Health is maintained when Qi flows smoothly and freely through these channels. When there are blockages in the flow of Qi, health is disrupted, and dis-ease often results. Acupuncture helps to unblock and balance Qi, promoting its smooth and free flow. Acupuncture points have specific balancing effects. These points are carefully selected for each treatment to bring the body back to a balanced state. Treatments are individualized for each patient's needs. Acupuncture and massage help to relax the body, and studies have shown that they release endorphins as well as decrease pain. |

These bodywork techniques help bring you to supreme relaxation, release muscles, and let go of your worries: • Tui Na (pronounced Twee Nah) ~~ Therapeutic, deep, and focused massage that is both healing and releasing. Enojoy warm oil and the depth that you like. Tui na is the Chinese way of saying massage, literally "push pull." We use therapeutic Chinese oils combined with a custom blend of certified organic sunflower, safflower, sesame, olive, jojoba, rose hip and flax seed oils which are rich in vitamins, minerals, Omega 3, and Omega 6 fatty acids. • Hot stones ~~ Comforting and grounding, hot or warm river stones are placed on and pushed down your muscles. Stones deliver a soothing heat and are a part of your Tui Na massage when desired. • Moxa ~ a.k.a. moxibustion ~~ Warming and relaxing, like sitting by a hot fire. Great for your low back. We can perform moxa with a mugwort or simulate it with our TDP Far-infrared lamps. • Cupping ~~ The ultimate in muscle release, especially for tight muscles in the back. Gwyneth Paltrow made this famous on the red carpet when she showed her cupping marks. • Electrostimulation ~~ Great for depression and anxiety and to get the thoughts moving. • Gua sha (pronounced Gwa shah) ~~ Excellent for neck and shoulder tension. Breaks up adhesions. |
