Acupuncture
Acupuncture stimulates powerful points on the body that can balance your body from within and allow it to heal. Thousands of years of clinical experience using more than 400 points on the body have shown the effectiveness of this healing modality. Whether they work through increasing circulation, stimulating nerves, or releasing endorphins remains to be seen, but the centuries of experience have shown how powerful acupuncture is for healing the body naturally.
Herbal Medicine
We often combine herbal medicine with acupuncture because it helps you heal faster and more effectively. Herbs enable you to do something every day to rebalance your body, not just on the day you receive treatment. Chinese herbal medicine has been developed over centuries of clinical use, and is the most sophisticated system of internal medicine in the world.
When prescribed correctly, herbal formulas will have no side effects (unless you consider increased energy, better sleep, and a calm mind a ‘side effect’) because they’re balancing the whole body at once. Unlike Western drugs, herbal formulas combine 4-15 herbs to balance your unique condition, much like eating a balanced meal rather than taking a mega dose of a single chemical component.
Quality of Herbs
We use only the highest quality herbs for our patients. While other clinics and health food stores may claim the same thing, we have scientific experience evaluating quality control and can confidently assure you we’ve investigated each one of our suppliers. We take these herbs ourselves.
Our suppliers process and manufacture all of their herbal products in the United States or Taiwan. What does that mean for you? It means better quality control, higher standards, and reliable third party testing to insure that your herbs are free of toxins, pesticides, heavy metals, bacteria, fungus, and mold.

Food Therapy
Traditional Chinese Medicine has a unique way of looking at food. Foods have distinct temperatures, flavors, and properties that you can use to heal yourself. We’ll share the most important food therapy guidelines for your condition and help you select individual foods to balance specific issues. You can also attend one of our food therapy classes to get started on your own.
