TCM is holistic medicine that incorporates acupuncture, herbal
medicine, massage, and exercise. TCM promotes mind and body healing through balance.
It builds resistance to illness, reduces medication side effects,
promotes health and relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety, relieves pain and helps you feel more
energetic and alive!
Acupuncture helps the body achieve health and balance by
stimulating one or more of 361 acupuncture points.
This stimulation causes measurable chemical, electrical and functional
changes in the body that promote health.
Herbal formulas call forth the body's own healing potential
gently and safely. Some herbal formulas act quickly to
fight a cold, to stop bleeding,
to regulate digestion, to eliminate
bloating or to relieve constipation.
Others work more slowly over time to enhance immunity and help regulate
chronic conditions.
