Treatments
Acupuncture/ Electro-Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine, sterilized, single use needles under the skin at specific points determined by diagnosis. Diagnosis is done by interview, pulse palpation, observation of the tongue & other physical structures. It has been used for 2,500 years to heal many kinds of health issues, as well as prevent them. It is relatively painless, though may feel tingly, numb, or heavy. It uses external channels that connect to the internal organs you are familiar with to dramatically change disease processes. Side effects include better sleep, reduced inflammation, and pain reduction. Research continues to find ways in which acupuncture can benefit the body!

Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a type of treatment in where heat is applied to different points or areas on the body. This is done to treat and prevent a wide variety of symptoms. The material used is an herb called mugwort, or Ai Ye, which is lit by fire until the herb is smoldering before being placed over different points. This is done to create a very warming effect on certain area of the body and to promote circulation of qi and blood. Mainly this is used for relieving pain, tightness, swelling, or to strengthen the patient's qi, or energy.
