Chinese Acupuncture
Acupuncture is based on the premise that energy, or chi, flows through meridians, or pathways, in the human body. When energy flow is weakened or blocked, the body’s energy becomes imbalanced, which causes pain, discomfort, stress and illness. Acupuncture stimulates and controls the flow of energy to restore and maintain balance in the body.
Meridian Yoga
This unique form of yoga blends ancient and modern techniques to open the body’s meridians and allow for the free flow of energy. Meridian Yoga classes are available to all of our patients.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Hundreds of natural herbs interact with the body in different ways. We can safely prescribe these herbs, individually or in combination, to treat a wide range of diseases and disorders, boost the immune system, and maintain good health.
Nutrition Consultation
Different foods have different tastes – spicy, sour, bitter, sweet, salty and even bland. These different types of foods have different energy properties. The right combination of foods served in the proper proportions is essential to restoring and maintaining balance. This is especially important for anyone suffering from a chronic illness.
Chi Flow Massage
Traditional massage involves manipulation of the muscles and joints. With chi flow massage, a therapist works on specific meridians to improve energy flow, which improves the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment.
Food Preparation Classes
The way food is prepared is also critical to treating and preventing illness. Food preparation techniques include steamed, boiled, stir fried, deep fried, roasted, stewed, and raw. We’ll explain how each of these techniques affects the body in different ways. Food preparation classes are available to all of our patients.
Tai Chi
Tai Chi is a gentle, graceful form of exercise and stretching that uses deep breathing and constant movement to improve balance, flexibility and energy flow. Tai Chi classes are available to all of our patients.
