Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses sterile needles to stimulate meridian points, restoring Qi flow and addressing conditions like chronic pain, migraines, and emotional imbalances. Our practitioners combine this ancient technique with modern diagnostics to create targeted treatment plans. Patients benefit from improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and enhanced natural healing processes.
Fertility Acupuncture
Specialized acupuncture protocols support fertility by regulating hormonal balance and improving reproductive organ function. We offer pre/post IVF-IUI treatments and personalized plans incorporating dietary guidance. This service addresses both male and female fertility challenges through non-invasive, evidence-based approaches that complement conventional treatments.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping creates therapeutic suction to increase blood flow, release muscle tension, and detoxify tissues. This technique effectively treats sports injuries, digestive issues, and respiratory conditions by promoting neovascularization and lymphatic drainage. Sessions leave temporary marks that indicate areas of stagnation being cleared from the body.
Herbal Medicine
Customized herbal formulas in teas, pills, or topical applications address specific health concerns while supporting overall wellness. Our practitioners prescribe individualized combinations based on TCM principles and modern nutritional science to enhance treatment outcomes for chronic conditions and acute ailments.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies controlled heat from burning mugwort to acupuncture points, stimulating Qi flow and warming deep tissues. This treatment effectively manages arthritis, menstrual cramps, and digestive disorders by restoring circulation and reducing chronic pain through natural thermal stimulation.
