Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves gently inserting very fine needles into specific points on the body. This process stimulates the flow of energy through the body, allowing natural healing to occur. Acupuncturists select these points based on years of training and over 3,000 years of experience in China.
Acupuncture helps to prevent illness by improving the overall functioning of the body's immune and organ systems. Acupuncture is helpful for:
-
Treating existing illnesses and injuries.
-
Preventing both recurrence of illnesses and new illnesses.
-
Improving overall health.
Acupuncture originated in China over 3,000 years ago. It is part of the holistic system of healing known as Traditional Chinese Medicine ("TCM").
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine is a powerful method of healing on its own.
Western drugs are usually used to control symptoms but do not alter the disease process.
For example, antibiotics kill bacteria but do not improve a person's resistance to infection; diuretics drain excess fluid from the body but do not improve kidney function.
Chinese herbs can also rid the body of disease, but they also nourish and balance the body in very specific ways, thereby improving organ function and building up your constitution and immune system.
Chinese herbs are traditionally given as a very strong tea. The acupuncturist will give the patient several bags of herbs. Each bag contains a formula of about a dozen raw herbs mixed specifically for the patient and their condition. The patient then prepares the herbs at home by boiling them in water for about a half an hour. This method lets the acupuncturist customize the formula to the patient's particular condition.
The acupuncturist may prescribe herbal pills, powders, or tinctures instead because these are more convenient.
