Acupuncture
is the placement of very fine sterile needles into specific "acupoints" along
pathways or meridians on the body. Acupuncture is a healing system that balances
the body's energy flow to promote and restore vibrant health.

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.
