General Wellbeing
Traditional Chinese Medicine encompasses wholeness, addressing the whole person, not just the disease. Life is a constant state of flux and maintaining good health is all about maintaining that flux within a healthy functioning balance (or homeostasis). It is when we overstep the bounds of this balance that we can begin to experience signs of an imbalance. These signs are referred to as symptoms or signs of ill health.
Traditional Chinese medicine offers a drug-free option of restoring balance thus aiding the body in recovery, whether it is of body, mind, or spirit in origin.
Acupuncture &
Moxibustion
Acupuncture can be like a reset button for a healthy functional body. Regular acupuncture, along with any necessary lifestyle changes may help you restore and maintain a level of health. Moving forward a monthly acupuncture session can help you to maintain this level of health.
Herbal Medicine & Supplementation
There are times when the body will need additional support beyond acupuncture and this is where the judicious use of herbal medicine and supplementation are exceedingly valuable to speed up your recovery in between your acupuncture treatment sessions. The addition of these tools will be discussed and agreed with you in the clinic.
It is easy to maintain a situation while it is still secure;
It is easy to deal with a situation before symptoms develop;
It is easy to break a thing when it is yet brittle;
It is easy to dissolve a thing when it is yet minute.
Deal with a thing while it is still nothing,
Keep a thing in order before disorder sets in.
A tree that can fill the span of a man’s arms
Grows from a downy tip;
A terrace nine stories high
Rises from hodfuls of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles
Starts from beneath ones feet.
