Herbal Support
Herbal Medicine mirrors the treatment strategies we take with acupuncture. There are a few options when seeking out Chinese herbal medicine, it is up to your practitioner to decide what is the most appropriate for your condition.
Beat The Summer Heat
Summer is a time for sunshine, outdoor adventures, and... overheating? Luckily, acupuncture and Chinese Medicine offer natural ways to beat the heat and keep your body in balance. These ancient practices can help you stay cool and balanced all summer long.
Ghost Treatments
Sensitive individuals may be picking up on and experiencing this even if it isn’t their personal “stuff”. In this case, they may benefit from a ghost treatment — yes we said ghost!
Yang Days of Summer
Summer is here and in Chinese Medicine, we rejoice in welcoming the most yang time of the year. Yang indicates a full expansion of energy.
Spring Stress + Acupuncture
In Chinese Medicine, stress leads to Liver qi stagnation. Acupuncture can have a major role in helping you decrease stress and guide your body back to homeostasis (state of balance).
Acupuncture for Mental + Emotional Health
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine offer a holistic and transformative approach to supporting your mental and emotional wellbeing.
Establishing Boundaries
Putting boundaries in place helps you become more self-aware, improve relationships, take better care of yourself, learn to say ‘no’, establish better work life balance, and feel more fulfilled and less stressed.
