ACUPUNCTURE,  HERBAL MEDICINE,  BODY THERAPY,  NUTRITION  &  LIFESTYLE CONSULTATION 
 

​Acupuncture is a central treatment modality within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which is a comprehensive system of healthcare.

 

Acupuncture involves the gentle insertion of very fine, sterile needles made of medical-grade, surgical stainless steel into precise areas ("points") of the body.

​

During treatment, Acupuncture "points" are strategically chosen in combinations which create a therapeutic response - as each"point" correspond to neural, vascular, and connective tissue networks that influence physiological and emotional balance.

 

​In general treatment is painless, or causes a mild sensation - and in most cases patients rest comfortably or fall asleep during treatment. In our clinic we create a relaxing environment, with gentle lighting, heat-lamps as needed, and soft music as background during sessions.

​

The effectiveness of Acupuncture treatment to enhance immunity, regulate internal systems (i.e. blood pressure, heart rate, hormone balance, pain relief, etc.) and treat numerous common conditions has been extensively researched. 

 

Leading institutions such as the National Health Institute (NIH), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) , Harvard Medical Center and Stanford University 

have lauded its impact in both palliatively and preventative care - as well as its ability to promote systemic homeostasis.

 

Practiced throughout China, Japan and Korea for thousands of years as is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture is now more and more prevalent throughout communities, clinics and hospitals world-wide.
