Acupuncture is the gentle insertion of fine needles in the body. These needles unblock the flow of energy (qi) in the meridians. This stuck energy is very often caused by emotional imbalance. Over time this imbalance may lead to physical problems.

According to a Western perspective, acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system to release chemicals to relieve pain and increase well-being.

Chinese medicine has been around for more than 3000 years and has provided us with a safe and holistic way to treat disease. Many people who have been successfully treated with acupuncture report a deep sense of well being after their treatments.

Chinese Herbs work much the same as acupuncture to re-balance the body and unblock the qi.  When recommending herbs we look at the root cause of your problem instead of just treating symptomatically.

When prescribed by someone trained in Chinese medicine, herbs are very effective and free of side effects.
