Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
and Acupuncture offers
a unique perspective on the nature of health and illness
that is different from that of the western perspective.
It holds the human body in great reverence, respecting
and
promoting its endless capacity for rejuvenation and
recovery. The symptoms are recognized as the bodies'
language. Through differentiation of signs and symptoms, a
doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture can
analyze the root cause of the condition. By harmonizing
the body, mind, and spirit, they are able to combat or
prevent illness to improve the quality of
life.
Acupuncture is an effective form of health care that has
evolved into a complete and wholistic medical system.
Practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine have
used this noninvasive medical system to diagnose and
help millions of people get well and stay healthy.
An
acupuncturist will place fine, sterile needles at
specific acupuncture points on the body. This activates the
body's Qi and promotes natural healing by enhancing
recuperative power, immunity and physical and emotional
health. It also can improve overall function and
well-being. It is a safe, painless and effective way to
treat a wide variety of medical problems.

generation to generation. Today, practitioners of Chinese
medicine continue to prescribe herbal formulas because they
work extremely well.

increases the benefits of a particular formula and minimizes
any harmful side effects. In order to create the most
effective formula, the herbs are used in different
quantities and for different purposes. This allows the

that target an individuals disharmony. Formulas can be
