Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a treatment procedure used to balance the internal flow of Qi by inserting very fine needles into precise acupuncture points along the different meridians. Method of treatment and selection of acupuncture points are based on proper diagnosis and treatment principles according to the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

During a typical treatment, the practitioner may insert ten to twenty needles. The procedure usually causes little discomfort, although the patient may feel tingling or a sensation of heaviness in the area of insertion.

Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine has developed a unique and practical understanding of the therapeutic effect of individual herbs and herb combinations for the prevention and treatment of disease. In Traditional Chinese medicine, when treatment includes the use of herbs, they are carefully chosen and formulated according to TCM theory, to rebalance energy or Qi in order to assist the body in healing itself.
