Acupuncture
The earliest records of acupuncture date back over 2,000 years and today there are over 3,000,000 practitioners worldwide. Although the majority of these practice in the East, over the last 50 years an increasing number of people in the West have trained to become acupuncturists.

The practice of acupuncture is thought to have begun with the discovery that the stimulation of specific areas on the skin affects the functioning of certain organs of the body.

It has evolved into a system of medicine that restores and maintains health by insertion of fine needles into acupuncture points just beneath the body surface. These points are in very specific locations and lie on channels of energy.

Acupuncture needles are extremely thin and flexible. Upon insertion, one may experience a heaviness in the limbs or a pleasant feeling of relaxation.

Herbology
An integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the use of medicinal herbs which can substantially aid in the restoration and maintenance of balance in the body.

Medicinal herbs are highly specific in their actions and herbal formulas contain a range of herbs that not only posses different qualities and properties, but also target different aspects of the patient's disharmony.

Made from organic substances such as plants, flowers and minerals, medicinal herbal remedies are the precursors of western pharmaceuticals. However, medicinal herbs have been proven safe and effective during thousands of years of use.

Herbal formulas can be specifically designed for the individual needs of each patient. Formulas come in many forms, including herbal teas cooked from raw herbs, prepared pills, powders and tinctures.
