Traditional Acupuncture is a healing art and science which teaches us to see the entire human being in body, mind and spirit, how to recognize the process of health and illness, and how to restore the body to health. Chinese medicine believes there is a life force called Qi (energy), and that this life force flows within us in a harmonious, balanced way. This harmony and balance is health. If the life force is not flowing properly, then there is disharmony and imbalance. This is illness.
Usually we know we are ill via a symptom which acts as a signal of distress. We may have a headache, an ulcer, depression, arthritis, insomnia, or other complaints. Chinese medicine believes that these symptoms are caused by stagnation in the flow of Qi (energy). We could say that the symptom is the trouble in itself and try to eliminate it, but from the perspective of traditional acupuncture this would be like covering up a flashing generator light in your car when all it's doing is indicating trouble.
A comprehensive examination is performed utilizing the diagnostic tools of Chinese medicine to assess the condition of Qi, and to identify the root cause of illness. These tools take into consideration everything about a person; the sound of the voice, complexion, predominant emotion, temperature and texture of the skin, posture, childhood history, favorite tastes, best and worst times of day, dreams, appetite and diet, sleep patterns, bowels, sexual energy, habits & hobbies, level of stress at home and work, etc. This information is important in order to make an accurate diagnosis of a person's illness. Important tools in this process are pulse and tongue diagnosis. Each organ is associated with a pulse and other facets of life: an emotion, a taste, a color, a time of day, a season, an odor, a sound, a sense organ, a body orifice, a pathway where the Qi flows. This means that a person who has an imbalance in the flow of the Qi that controls the Kidneys may also have symptoms such as a craving for salt, an excess of fear, a preference for or intense dislike of the color blue, a lack of will power, ear troubles, dislike of cold weather, sexual inadequacy, pain in the joints, lower back pain, knee pain. Each organ has its correlations.
Acupuncture restores order and balance to the Qi enabling it to flow without obstruction, so that the body, mind, and spirit can heal itself. Traditional acupuncture treats the person, not the disease.
Acupuncture, Moxibustion, constitutional evaluation and diagnosis
$40
Cosmetic Acupuncture
$65 inclusive of herbs
Observing the cosmos and the rhythms of nature allowed ancient Chinese healers to gain insight into the energy flow of the body, the vital life force that flows through all living things. Known as qi in Traditional Chinese Medicine, this vital energy courses through the body along acupuncture meridians. Just as a river can become blocked by debris, however, so, too, can our vital energy.
The result of this obstruction is stagnation, decay, and disease. Acupuncture is meant to remove these blockages and allow our qi to flow freely.
The process itself is simple, yet it requires a thorough understanding of the whole health and well-being of the body and emotions. Painlessly, the acupuncturist places fine needles at specific points on the face and neck to unblock the qi and restore harmony to the body. Blood circulation is stimulated, which promotes collagen production and produces a healthy glow.
A treatment protocol involves receiving sessions every other day for 10-12 treatments. The person's skin can become more luminous, while fine lines begin to fade, a marked improvement in skin tone and reduced prominence of lines and wrinkles, you can expect to look and feel younger.
Body Cupping
$30
Cupping is an ancient method of treatment that has been used in dealing with a broad range of physical and mental conditions. A partial vacuum is created in cups placed on the skin either by means of heat or suction. The aim of Cupping is to move and purify stagnant blood.
Classical Asian medicine believes that blood stasis is responsible for a host of emotional and physical problems from depression to cancer. Cupping therapy has been further developed as a means to open the Energetic Meridians of the body. Meridians are the conduits through which energy flows to every organ and tissue. When opened, the meridians allow invigorating energy to travel through the whole length of the body. It has been found that cupping is an excellent way of opening these meridians.
Cupping is also able to affect the body up to four inches into the tissues, causing tissues to release toxins, activate the lymphatic system, clear colon blockages, heal the veins, arteries and capillaries, cleanse the skin, purify the blood, detoxify all the internal organs, and achieve emotional well being.
