Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a powerful medicine. it aids in strengthening your immune system and serves to prevent disease, control pain and increases your ability to function at a higher quality of life.
It uses natural laws and energetic principles rooted in Taoism. If you've had treatments, you know that specific points on your body are used to unblock or energize the flow of vital life force (Qi) so that your body heals itself. You not only heal physically, but experience deep states of peace, clarity and harmony which often have a lasting impact.
Many people who have lived with a certain condtion for so long believe that they will just have to deal with it forever. Acupuncture has succeeded many times where other treatments have not.
Acupuncturists go through at least 3, most often 4 years of study and pass a state and/or national licensing exam. See the Education page for more information on my studies and experience.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Let's not forget these agents that assist acupuncutre, or, sometimes work alone. These well-studied medicinals consist of roots, barks, leaves, flowers, minerals and shells. Some animal products are still used, but only those not on any endangered species list. Herbs enter the meridian system of Qi flow to aid specific areas or organs. If you're given a formula by me, you can rest assured that only those cleared with the international "GMP" (general manufacturing processes; the standards of cleanliness, processing and ingredients a manufacturer must follow) are used.
Herbs can be prescribed even if you are taking western medications.
