Chinese Herbal medicine is often used in conjunction with acupuncture to treat a myriad of conditions. Unlike Western drugs which just mask the symptoms, Chinese herbal medicine treats the underlying or root cause of illness.

Combining Chinese dietary practices with a Western diet is a process of expanding what you eat, along with eliminating processed and chemically laden foods. Eastern and Western dietary therapy is the blending of a diet rich in organic whole foods to include; whole grains, fruits, vegetables, sea vegetables, and legumes. Both dietary therapies include small amounts of farm raised hormone and antibiotic-free lean meats and fresh wild fish.

The principle of Chinese dietary therapy is all about harmony and balance in food. According to Chinese Medicine, foods are categorized according to their energetic values (hot, cold, warm and cool) and tastes (bitter, sweet, salty, sour, and spicy or pungent). Combining these food qualities in a harmonious way, the Chinese believe you can achieve vibrant life and a sense of well being.
