Nutritional Therapy
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) there is no distinct difference between food and medicine, meaning that food itself can sometimes be all the medicine you need. TCM emphasizes lifestyle choices and nutrition, along with herbs and acupuncture to bring the body into balance. According to TCM, every food and herb has a nature, flavor, and organ system/meridian associated with it. The nature describes the effect of the food or herbs on the temperature of the body, while the flavor describes the taste. Instead of viewing meals as a breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates (sugars), and fats, Chinese dietary therapy utilizes the flavors and natures of foods as a guide to a well-balanced meal.
Bodywork | Massage Therapy
Massage helps make your body more relaxed and receptive to acupuncture and other treatments. Used in addition to acupuncture, bodywork helps to return your body to balance.
Cupping
Cupping enhances circulation, helps relieve pain, loosens tense fascia and connective tissue, and extracts toxins that linger in your body. Glass jars are placed on the skin to create a vacuum by suctioning out the air. The underlying tissue is raised, or sucked, partway into the cup. You usually will feel a tight sensation in that area, followed by a soothing or relaxing effect. Cupping causes the skin to temporarily turn red, blue or purple, especially if there is an injury or energetic blockage under the cupped area. The skin discoloration can last from a few days to a few of weeks but is rarely painful.
Vibrational Sound Therapy
Tuning forks (also known as Acutonics) is an energy-based, non-invasive approach which uses precision calibrated tuning forks that are applied on or over acupuncture points, trigger points, or points of pain. The tuning forks represent a natural harmonic series that is based on the orbital properties of the Earth, Moon, Sun and planets. The sound waves of the forks travel deeply into the body along energy pathways that have been proven to impact the physical and emotional body. The rich resonance and vibration of these tuning forks connects with and supports the body’s natural frequencies, stimulates and balances the body’s physical and subtle energy field, and promotes a deep relaxation and wellness.
