OUR SERVICES
Acupuncture
Herbal Medicine
Acupuncture
Acupuncture stimulates the central nervous system, which consists of the brain and spinal cord, to secrete certain chemicals and send them to the brain, spinal cord, and muscles. These chemicals reduce the degree of pain and strengthen the body's self-regulatory function. It induces the secretion of hormones. As a result, the purpose of acupuncture is to strengthen the body's self-reliance and allow natural healing.
Cupping
Herbal Medicine
Acupuncture
Cupping therapy is known to increase the activity of white blood cells that fight infection and disease. This increase in white blood cell activity may help your body heal faster and more effectively. For example, cupping therapy is effective for shingles that occurs when the body's immune system is lowered.

SPECIAL CARE
Cancer Care
Symptoms We Treat
Cancer Care
For cancer patients, Oriental medicine is meaningful in minimizing the decline in immunity and complications that occur during the medical treatment process rather than treating the cancer itself.
The integration of acupuncture at major hospitals and cancers centers across the country, including the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston is spreading as more and more randomized clinical trials are showing how effective acupuncture can be as an adjunct treatment in cancer care. In fact, one RCT found acupuncture to be effective for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Other research studies suggest acupuncture may be helpful for cancer-related pain, chemotherapy-related neutropenia, cancer fatigue, and radiation-induced xerostomia.
Menopause
Symptoms We Treat
Cancer Care
Chinese medicine recognizes menopause as a natural process. The symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, fatigue, etc. are merely indications of an imbalance deep within the body.
Estrogen is similar to what acupuncturists call Jing Qi. As we age, our supply of Jing Qi energy is slowly drained. When it declines, the organ systems within our body become unbalanced. Another factor that can contribute to menopause is an imbalance in Yin and Yang energies.
When treating menopausal symptoms, an acupuncturist must first determine where the energy has changed, and what organ systems have become unbalanced. Once this is known, acupuncture and Oriental medicine offer a safe, natural, drug-free way to nourish and heal the body.
