Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese technique based on the belief that life-force, or “chi” flows through channels in the body known as meridians. Thin, solid needles are inserted at “reflex points” along these meridians to stimulate, disperse, and/or regulate the flow of chi. The goal is to restore a healthful energetic balance as well as to treat acute, chronic, and degenerative conditions.

Group Acupuncture

Traditional Chinese Medicine identifies hundreds of points on the ear and body that can be stimulated with acupuncture needles to bring health and balance to the body. Health situations that benefit from acupuncture include pain, weight management, stress, smoking cessation, insomnia, headaches, migraines and menopause. In a small group setting, you will receive the treatment which takes approximately an hour. Group sessions are Thursday afternoons from 4-6 pm. Cost is $35. (A snack or light meal is recommended prior to your appointment).

Chinese Herbs

Depending on their individual botanical properties, a wide assortment of Chinese herbs are used to assist specific health conditions and ailments. Chinese herbal therapies can be applied to help resolve everything from weak digestion to chronic pain and migraine headaches. We strongly recommend working with a practitioner when using Chinese herbs as diagnosis, treatment and the understanding of potential interactions require a highly trained professional.
