Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate specific meridian points, restoring qi flow and addressing health imbalances. This traditional practice effectively treats chronic pain, fertility issues, and allergic reactions by promoting natural healing processes. Our licensed practitioners tailor each session to individual health needs.
Chinese Herbs
Custom herbal formulations complement acupuncture treatments by addressing systemic imbalances. Prescribed by qualified practitioners, these natural remedies support digestive health, immune function, and women's wellness through both internal consumption and topical applications tailored to each patient's constitution.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy employs glass domes to create suction that releases pathogenic energy and improves circulation. This technique effectively relieves muscle tension, reduces inflammation, and promotes relaxation by enhancing blood flow to targeted body areas during treatment sessions.
Nutritional Consultation
Our nutritional counseling applies Chinese medicine principles to identify diet-related health factors. We provide personalized dietary recommendations to support treatment goals, addressing how specific foods may either benefit or exacerbate individual health conditions through practical wellness strategies.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies heat through burning mugwort herb to stimulate meridian points. This warming therapy enhances qi and blood circulation, particularly beneficial for cold-related conditions, menstrual irregularities, and digestive imbalances when incorporated into comprehensive treatment plans.
