Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs
Acupuncture sets in effect the innate regenerative power of the human body. We are composed of a beautiful and complicated web of nerves, hormones, neurotransmitters, blood and oxygen, proteins, organs, frequencies of energy and spirit. Living in today's time, it is not uncommon for this web to have become tangled from life's demands and no longer function optimally.

The insertion of very thin, stainless steel, disposable needles, along meridians (energy channels) at specific points, have been shown to be effective in the treatment of the conditions we treat and recognized as such by the World Health Organization and National Institute of Health.
Though acupuncture has stood the test of time, we are finally beginning to understand the scientific explanations for why Traditional Oriental Medicine works so well. There are more and more research studies that are coming out everyday demonstrating its effectiveness. For articles on your condition go to PubMed.org or google acupuncture and the condition.

Meridians are energy pathways which modern research now believe to be remnants of embryonic folds made up of cells as the embryo is forming that stay in our system. Meridians are believed to serve as channels of connection between apparently separate parts of the body. This explains, for example, why the insertion of a needle in a particular point on a person's leg will affect their digestive system.
Acupuncture has been shown to stimulate the central nervous system, which then, releases chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord and brain. These chemicals either alter the experience of pain or release other chemicals that influence the body's self-regulating systems, which leads to our bodies natural healing abilities and thus physical and emotional well-being.

Acupuncture raises levels of white blood counts, overall anti-body levels, specific hormones, prostaglandins, triglycerides, blocks pain fibers, secretes endorphins (the body's own morphine) in the body, regulates neurotransmitters that balance our state of mind, sleep, endurance, appetite and libido such as serotonin, noradrenaline, dopamine and Gaba. This ionic transfer sets in motion an elegant interplay of the body's energies, also known as Qi, restoring balance to the body, mind and spirit.

Chinese Herbs
Chinese herbs act on the endocrine system by stimulating hormone production, altering the rate of hormone metabolism, or changing the response of hormone receptors. The herbal formulas prescribed will not only address your symptoms but at the same time improve your overall health, strengthening your system and bring balance to your body, mind and spirit.
