East Asian Medicine
-
- East Asian Medicine is one of the oldest medical practices on record – over 5,000 years old. The Ancient Chinese developed this unique medical system through years of diligent study of the body, mind, emotions, spirit, and the natural world around them. This methodology is based on the idea that pathways of energy, or ‘Qi’, flow in systemized patterns throughout the body. These pathways or ‘meridians’ circulate energy, nourish the tissues and support proper bodily function. Obstructions in the movement of this energy can result in a variety of potential imbalances, and if untreated, can lead to disease.
East Asian Medicine is a holistic system that treats the root cause of an imbalance or disease. Each person consists of their own unique blend of constitution, health history, family influences, environment, diet, emotions, thought patterns, etc. As such, assessments and treatments are tailored to each unique individual’s presentation.
Services

Acupuncture - Hair thin sterile needles are inserted along meridians to stimulate the body's innate ability to heal itself.
Moxibustion/Moxa - Burning the herb mugwort on or near the body adds warmth and nourishes the body to improve circulation, relieve pain, and increase immunity.
Cupping - Cups are placed on the body with suction and may be left in place or moved across the surface of the body. Like a reverse massage, this technique releases toxins, activates the lymphatic system & clears blockages.
Gua Sha - Repetitive pressured strokes across the skin provides immediate relief from pain, stiffness, fever, chills, cough, nausea, and breaks up scar tissue & adhesions.
