Acupuncture

 
 

A key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture is the process of gently inserting very fine needles through the skin at specific points of the body. The points are determined using a meridian system that correlates with different parts of the body. When energy (Qi) flows smoothly through the meridians, our body is in its optimal state of health and balance. If our Qi becomes stagnant or deficient, imbalance and disease can occur. Stimulating specific points along the meridian system with acupuncture can help bring our Qi back into balance.

Herbal Medicine

 

Chinese herbs are a significant component to Traditional Chinese Medicine. Herbal remedies can be used to treat physical, emotional, and spiritual issues and are generally used in conjunction with other TCM modalities such as cupping or acupuncture. Herbal remedies can be powerful medicine that should only be used under the care of a licensed TCM practitioner who has assessed the patient’s specific needs and created an individual formula.

 
 
 

Cupping

 
 

Cupping is a commonly used modality within Traditional Chinese Medicine. Similar to acupuncture, cupping follows the meridian systems within the body. Cupping involves applying glass cups to the body, creating suction, and leaving the cups to sit for a period of time. The suction from the cup pulls the skin and muscles upwards thus allowing space for tension and blockages to release.
