We activate the natural intelligence of the body to heal itself


		ACUPUNCTURE A remarkable system of medicine that triggers the body to heal itself. All self-healing requires the “perfect flow of Chi”, the circulation of blood and vital energy that removes blockages and reduces inflammation. Acupuncture “re-tunes the human instrument” to re-create health.

		ORIENTAL MEDICINE A system of diagnostic and treatment strategies based on the concept of regulating Yin and Yang within the body. It includes acupuncture, tuina oriental massage, lifestyle and nutritional recommendations, as well as the prescribing of non-pharmaceutical medicines. We use only FDA approved, American-made, wild crafted and/or organic herbal medicines.

		HOMEOPATHY A form of medicine that began in Germany and has modern day use worldwide. Its general premises are that “less is more” and “treat the person, not the disease”. Using greatly diluted natural substances, the body receives an energetic representation which triggers a healing response. A classical homeopath with national certification is trained to perceive and treat a detailed “portrait” of the patient. When prescribed by a trained professional, homeopathics are safe and effective on people of all ages, including children.

		KINESIOLOGY A method of receiving bio-feedback through a muscle response. Commonly referred to as "muscle testing", this non-invasive diagnostic tool allows the practitioner to identify specific conditions within the body.


		TUINA An oriental massage therapy that includes cupping as a technique to relieve tight muscles and increase blood circulation.


		ACUPUNCTURE INJECTION THERAPY A process used to inject homeopathic medicines into acupuncture points for the treatment of pain and inflammation.
