Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatment involves precise needle insertion along meridians to restore qi flow and systemic balance. Our practitioners use this 2,000-year-old technique to address chronic pain, allergies, and neurological conditions by targeting root causes rather than symptoms. Each session includes comprehensive diagnosis and personalized treatment adjustments.
Herbal Formulas
Customized herbal prescriptions combine multiple ingredients based on individual disharmony patterns. These formulas address conditions like immune dysfunction and hormonal imbalances by restoring internal equilibrium. Our practitioners ensure proper herb interactions and potency while monitoring patient response through follow-up consultations.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping mobilizes qi and blood circulation through controlled suction. This therapy effectively treats musculoskeletal pain and cold-related conditions by releasing stagnation in soft tissues. Temporary bruising indicates improved circulation and toxin removal, with most patients experiencing immediate pain relief.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha uses specialized tools to stimulate microcirculation and resolve qi-blood stagnation. Particularly effective for fever-related discomfort and muscle tension, this technique creates temporary petechiae that signify toxin release. Sessions often combine with cupping for enhanced therapeutic effects.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies heat from burning mugwort to specific points for yang deficiency conditions. This therapy excels in treating cold-related menstrual pain and chronic fatigue by restoring thermal energy along meridians. Practitioners combine it with herbal treatments for synergistic effects on systemic cold patterns.
