Benefits of TCM

Our Services

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic medical system that has been practiced for more than 3,000 years in China and other East Asian nations. It emphasizes the importance of balancing the body’s vital energy (Qi), as well as the interplay of yin and yang, to promote health and address illnesses.
As a TCM practitioner, I utilize a variety of diagnostic techniques, which include observing symptoms, assessing the pulse, examining the tongue, and inquiring about the patient’s lifestyle, emotions, and overall health. From this evaluation, we craft a personalized treatment plan that primarily involves acupuncture and herbal remedies. Additionally, cupping and gua sha may be incorporated as necessary.

Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine is a key component of TCM, involving the use of natural herbs and mostly plant based substances to promote health and treat illness. A holistic approach that has been used for over 3000 years, herbal medicine, like with all modalities of TCM, is used to balance and restore harmony in the body, addressing both the root cause and symptoms an individual is experiencing. Each herb used has a specific function and purpose, a specific nature (whether the herb is energetically hot, cool, pungent, warm, acrid, cold) and enters a specific meridian in the body to yield specific results. Individualized formulas are created and customized to the needs of the patient and their body constitution

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the main healing modalities used in TCM. Single use, hairline thin sterile needles are inserted into specific points to yield a specific outcome.

Acupuncture is used to regulate and restore balance of Qi and Blood, Yin and Yang and regulate the function of the organs and meridians, and can aid with hormone balance. It promotes overall health and well-being so that you can do what you need to with more ease.

Cosmetic Acupuncture

Cosmetic acupuncture is a natural alternative to facial rejuvenation. Utilizing traditional acupuncture and motor points on the face to stimulate and relax the muscles, help promote collagen production, coupled with the Celluma LED light therapy, it’s like a work out for the face. The LED light therapy (optional but included with every treatment) can work to target acne, fine lines and wrinkles. Each treatment is customized and includes body acupuncture to target any internal imbalances as well as acupuncture points to enhance the facial treatment. Gentle Gua Sha and facial cupping is also used to enhance blood flow, aid with lymphatic draining, and lift the muscles to help tone and give an inner glow.

Fire Cupping

Fire cupping, also known as cupping therapy, is an ancient TCM practice that uses localized pressure to promote healing. The cups are gently heated with a flame and placed directly onto the skin. The heat forms a suction to enhance circulation to the area, relieving muscle tension and promoting overall healing. The suction will most often leave a circular red mark – however, some marks may be more pale, darker purple, or even have spots. Each indicating a different symptom in TCM. Many find cupping therapy to be very relaxing and effective at relieving tension.
