East Asian Medicine

East Asian Medicine is based on the concept that we are all whole beings and endowed with the ability to self-heal. Acupuncture stimulates known points on the body that release our own opiates and anti-inflammatory chemicals, and then down-regulate the Sympathetic (fight or flight) response. Thus, patients often report feeling deeply relaxed and “balanced” after an acupuncture treatment.

Acupuncture and herbs help a body safely heal without serious side effects. The addition of muscle release techniques, cupping, gua-sha and moxibustion further add to the low-risk, non-invasive healing modalities that encourage a higher baseline of health.
