Herbal Prescriptions
Herbal prescriptions or formulas are combinations of herbs used to treat various conditions ranging from the common cold to infertility. Currently, more than 30,000 herbs exist in the Chinese pharmacopoeia. Combinations of these herbs are an excellent way to treat an individual’s entire constitution and not just the chief complaint.

Electro-Acupuncture
Electro-acupuncture is used to break up scar tissue/adhesions. It is also used to reduce inflammation. Electro-acupuncture works by sending therapeutic electric currents to the affected areas.

Tuina or Chinese Bodywork
Tuina is used to adjust and realign bones and muscles into place. It is also used to relieve muscle spasm, strain, and/or injury. Tuina is a type of Chinese bodywork which encompasses the principles of acu-pressure, massage, and slow-moving techniques into one therapy.

Moxibustion
Moxa, or the herb Artemesia Vulgaris, is used as a warming agent on the body to move blood, body fluid, and other nutrients to the affected area. Often, when there is pain, inflammation, and/or cold sensation in the body, moxa can be an excellent approach towards moving nutrients to the affected tissues.

Nutrition
Nutrition is used to treat the body's constitution naturally with foods. Once we determine your constitution, we can advise you of healthy foods to eat.
