Acupuncture

When there is an excess or a deficiency of one aspect of the body, acupuncture works to restore balance.  During treatment, very fine, high-quality needles are inserted into specific points along acupuncture meridians (channels or pathways that carry energy through the body), which have the effect of creating balance, relieving stress, and calming the mind.

Acupuncture can be specifically targeted to bring hormones into balance to boost fertility, enhance medical treatments such as IVF and IUI, work to ensure a healthy, comfortable pregnancy, and ease menstrual and menopausal symptoms.

Further Modes of Treatment

• Moxibustion--a concentrated form of heat infused with healing herbs which are used to stimulate acupuncture points, direct qi and provide energy to the body.

• Cupping--the inside of a special cup is heated to produce a vacuum, then rubbed or place on the skin to help promote blood circulation. Cupping is an effective treatment to remove pathogens if used at the beginning of a common cold.
