Caring For Your Health
Acupuncture and herbs can successfully treat a wide variety of ailments from acute to chronic. Simply stated, acupuncture works by unblocking the Qi (energy) in the meridians (energy flows) thereby creating a more balanced state of being. A poetic analogy is—we are opening up the dams along your body’s rivers so the water can flow more smoothly.
There is an old Chinese saying, “when there are no blockages; there is no pain. When there is no pain; there are no blockages.” This is true of blockages in the mind, body and spirit.
Acupuncture is used to treat:
- Colds & Flus
- Digestive Disorders
- Autoimmune Disorders
- Chronic Pain
- Injuries
- Depression & Anxiety
- Neurological Disorders
- Fibromyalgia
- Headaches/Migraines
- Addiction
