Acupuncture
Acupuncture originated in China over 5,000 years ago. It is based on the belief that health is determined by a balanced flow of Qi, the vital life energy present in all living organisms. According to acupuncture theory, Qi is circulated in the body along fourteen energy pathways, called meridians, each linked to specific internal organs and organ systems. There are over one thousand acupoints within the meridian system that can be stimulated to enhance the flow of Qi. When special needles are inserted into these acupoints (just under the skin), they help correct and rebalance the flow of energy and consequently restore health.
Perhaps no other alternative therapy has received more attention in this country or gained more acceptance more quickly than acupuncture. Most Americans had never heard of it until 1971, when New York Times foreign correspondent James Teston wrote a startling first article about acupuncture following his emergency appendectomy in China. Today, acupuncture in America is in full swing. Last year alone, Americans made some 9-12 million visits to acupuncturists for ailments as diverse as arthritis, bladder infections, back pain, and morning sickness.
The World Health Organization of the United Nations (WHO) has cited 104 different conditions that acupuncture can treat; including, migraines, sinusitis, the common cold, tonsillitis, asthma, eye inflammation, addictions, myopia, duodenal ulcer (and other gastrointestinal disorders), trigeminal neuralgia, Meniere's disease, tennis elbow, paralysis from stroke, speech aphasia, sciatica, and osteoarthritis. Acupuncture has also been found to be effective in the treatment of a variety of rheumatoid conditions, and brings relief in 80% of those who suffer from arthritis. There is also evidence to suggest that acupuncture is valuable in treating enviromentally-induced illness due to radiation, pesticide poisoning, enviromentally toxic compounds, and air pollution.
In addition, acupuncture has been popularly used for weight control, to quit smoking, substance abuse, stress, depression, anxiety relief, cosmetic care, women's health, and even immune support.
Acupressure / Shiatsu Massage
Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities. When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and the body's life force energy to aid healing. Acupuncture and acupressure use the same points, but acupuncture employs needles, while acupressure uses gentle but firm pressure.
Have you ever had a Shiatsu massage? Acupressure and Shiatsu are almost identical. They are both meridian therapies, which means they both work with the body’s own energy pathways, the pathways which are the foundation of Chinese medicine. Acupressure works on the acu-points and meridians, similar but not exactly like, Acupuncture without needles!
In an Acupressure treatment, pressure is applied along the meridians to improve the circulation of energy and harmonize the functions of the internal organs. Pressure is applied with the hands, arms, elbows, and occasionally the feet of the practitioner. In addition to the application of pressure to the meridians, acupressure will involve the application of pressure to other muscles and ligaments throughout the body. This component of acupressure is similar to the technique of Swedish massage. Acupressure also involves placing the hand on a part of the body, passively, without any significant pressure exerted, to facilitate energy flow.
The combination of acupressure with muscle massage will act on the whole body to facilitate deep relaxation, relieve discomfort and pain, and increase the regenerative capacity of the body by unblocking the flow of energy.
Tui-Na Asian Body Work
Tui-Na is the oldest known system of Asian Body work in the world. Originating in China, it is recorded in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine from 2300 B.C., as one of the five major therapies of the time. Tui-Na has remained an organized and systematically developed form of massage since that time. Currently in China Tui-Na is taught as a separate but equal field of study in the major traditional Chinese medical schools. Tui-Na doctors receive the same, demanding training as acupuncturists and herbalists, and enjoy the same level of professional respect.
Tui-Na methods include the use of hand and arm techniques the soft tissue (muscles and tendons) of the body, stimulation of acupessure points to directly affect the flow of Chi energy through the system of channels and collaterals.
Reflexology
The body has the ability to heal itself. Following illness, stress, injury or disease, it is in a state of "imbalance", and vital energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body from functioning effectively. Reflexology can be used to restore and maintain the body's natural equilibrium and encourage healing.
A reflexologist uses hands only to apply gentle pressure to the feet. For each person the application and the effect of the therapy is unique. Sensitive, trained hands can detect tiny deposits and imbalances in the feet, and by working on these points the reflexologist can release blockages and restore the free flow of energy to the whole body. Tensions are eased, and circulation and elimination is improved. This gentle therapy encourages the body to heal itself at its own pace, often counteracting a lifetime of misuse.
Since reflexology treats the whole person, not the symptoms of disease, most people benefit from treatment. The therapy brings relief to a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, and is suitable for all ages. Once your body is in-tune, it is wise to have regular treatments in order to help maintain health and well-being. An increasing number of people are using this safe, natural therapy as a way of relaxing, balancing and harmonising the body.
Cupping
Cupping is a therapy that stimulates the flow of blood and Qi to the superficial muscle layers. It is used to break up blockages of Qi, for sore muscles, tension, neck pain, and the common cold. In this therapy, your acupuncturist will place small glass "cups" over specific areas on your body. A vacuum is created under the cup using heat or suction. Sometimes your acupuncturist may slide the cups over certain areas, or just leave them still. You may leave the office looking as though a large octopus gave you a big hug. But don't worry; the slight redness will dissipate quickly.
Ear Coning
An ear candle, sometimes called an ear cone, is a long hollow tube tapered to a hand-finished tip, that fits comfortably into the outer ear canal. The large end of the candle is lit and the smoke created spirals down through the ear canal. The warmth of the smoke gently dislodges foreign debris, softens old ear wax and helps evaporate excess moisture.
Ear Candles are believed to help relieve earache pain, provide relief from pressure in the sinuses and allow the ear to naturally push out the old ear wax.

Tai Chi
Tai Chi has been practiced in China for centuries as a martial art, as exercise, and as a means of improving the flow of internal energy, Chi, within the body. Because of Tai Chi's emphasis on correct form and feeling each movement, it is practiced very slowly, gently, and thoughtfully, with the emphasis on continuity of movement without break or pause. The Chinese use the metaphor of pulling silk from a cocoon: pull steadily, and the strand unravels; pull too fast or too slow, and it breaks.
In Tai Chi you're always moving, but always under complete control. There's no overextension, no wasted effort. The whole body moves as one, with the body parts balanced in circular movement - always moving, always rotating, always transforming into the opposite. The weight shifts continuously, evenly and under complete control throughout the form, coming to rest briefly but completely on one leg or the other as the next element of the form unfolds.
Throughout the form, the body remains soft and relaxed, as if suspended from the top of the head and the joints like a puppet. The mind is centered on each movement, assessing the alignment and correctness of the form, focusing on feeling the flow from substantial to insubstantial in each movement, and fending off distractions. Breathing is through the nose slow and even, inhaling during contractions, exhaling during expansions of the form.
What conditions can Tai Chi exercise treat?
Tai Chi is known to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), bone fragility in osteoporosis, arthritis, stress-related symptoms, mood disorder, insomnia, and anxiety.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Herbs, as in herbal medicine (also known as botanical medicine), is defined as a plant or plant part that is used to make medicine, aromatic oils for soaps or fragrances, or flavor foods (spices). And herb can be a leaf, bark, or any other part of the plant used for its medicinal, food flavoring, or aromatic properties. Herbs have provided humankind with medicine from the earliest beginnings of civilization. Throughout history, various cultures have handed down their accumulated knowledge of the medicinal use of herbs to successive generations. This vast body of knowledge serves as the basis for much of traditional medicine today.
The practice of Chinese herbal medicine stretches back more than 5,000 years, embracing all the domains of nature - earth and sea, seasons and weather, plants and animals, and all the elements that constitute the universe. Contemporary Chinese medicine represents the cumulative clinical experience and time-tested theories of five millennia of continuous practice by traditional Chinese physicians. It remains the world's oldest, safest, and most comprehensive system of medical care, developing as dynamically today as it has throughout its long history.
The World Health Organization of the United Nations (WHO) notes that of 119 plant-derived pharmaceutical medicines, about 74% are used in modern medicine in ways that correlate directly with their traditional uses as plant medicine by native cultures. Herbal medicine is the most ancient form of health care known to mankind. Herbs have been used in all cultures throughout history. Extensive scientific documentation now exists concerning their use for health conditions, including premenstrual syndrome, indigestion, insomnia, heart disease, liver disease, cancer, and HIV.

Face – Body Rejuvenation
Our faces reveal the health and balance of our internal organs and systems. A person with a healthy, glowing face has a good internal energy balance. On the contrary, dysfunctions and diseases shows in the face through dark circles, pale or lusterless skin, blemishes, acne, excessive wrinkling, and other age signs. This connection between our skin and internal organs has been referred to as the “ viscerocutaneous reflex” by acupuncture research.

Non-needle micro current facial stimulation
The human body is exquisitely sensitive to electric currents and fields. In fact, all our life functions are intimately associated with electrical impulses, including the brain and heart functions, nerve conduction, muscular contraction, relaxation, and all healing and regeneration processes. Though electrical energy has been used for healing purposes since ancient times, only sophisticated modern technology has the possibility of delivering precise, modulated therapeutic waves in the subtle micro current range. These current match more closely the innate electrical activity of the body.
