For thousands of years, Chinese medicine has been a primary system of healthcare, treating all types of diseases and disorders. While acupuncture is the best known technique, Chinese medicine actually encompasses a range of healing procedures, including a distinct tradition of herbal medicine, therapeutic massage (tui na), dietary therapy, energetic exercise (qi gong), meditation, cupping and moxibustion. These multiple tools make Chinese Medicine a flexible and effective system to address many types of health problems.

To do this, Chinese Medicine uses a unique description of the body and its physiology, very different from Western medicine’s understanding. Evolving from thousands of years of empirical observation, Chinese medicine is based upon a self-consistent logic that explains the body holistically and comprehensively. The system takes into account emotions, environmental surroundings, and constitutional tendencies of the patient. Symptoms are examined in relationship to the whole being. Treatment with acupuncture and related modalities is directed by a diagnosis grounded in this ancient understanding of the human body and mind. I invite you to experience the profound possibilities for health and well-being offered by this complete system of medicine that cares for the total person.
