Oriental Healing with Acupuncture

The healing arts in Japan and China have had a long and fascinating history, in fact thousands of years of history. Acupuncture is one of the core aspects of this history. Acupuncture enhances the overall self-healing processes of the body by stimulating the body's natural ability to heal and maintain homeostasis. During each individualized acupuncture treatment, sterilized hair-thin needles are inserted at precise points on the body at various depths. By stimulating specific combinations of these points the body is guided back to balance, promoting the circulation of energy and Qi along natural meridian channels in the body.

These wonderful balancing treatments are generally pain-free. In fact, many patients find it so relaxing that they fall asleep on the table, allowing the healing energy to flow naturally and without the muscular tension naturally associated with a conscious state.

Moxibustion is a technique in which Artemisia vulgaris, known as mugwort is burned above the skin on the head of an inserted needle over a protective barrier such as sliced ginger. This therapy helps to promote the circulation of blood and Qi to an affected area. It can also bring warmth to stiff, achy tendons and joints.

Cupping is a technique using glass or plastic cups to enhance the movement of energy during the session. It can be enhanced by Gua Sha, a technique that involves the rubbing of a ceramic spoon in areas that need to release stagnation of Qi and blood, particularly in the upper back and shoulders.

And speaking of the upper back and shoulders, massage has been used as long as acupuncture to move energy through tense muscles and sluggish meridians. This is the essence of Tuina, an Oriental Bodywork Therapy that has been used in China for 2,000 years. Tuina methods include the use of hand techniques to massage the soft tissue (muscles and tendons) of the body, acupressure techniques to directly affect the flow of Qi , and manipulation techniques to realign the musculoskeletal and ligamentous relationships (bone-setting). Techniques may include rolling, finger pressure and palm pressure to revitalize depleted energy systems and relieve joint and nerve pain.

And Oriental therapy wouldn't be complete without the use of Chinese herbal medicine, an ancient tradition of using plant, animal and/or mineral substances to bring the body back into balance. Chinese herbal formulas are individualized to match each patient's unique pattern of disharmony. This individualized approach ensures that possible side effects, seen typically with pharmaceutical drug-use, may be minimal. It also continues the effects of the acupuncture treatment between sessions.

Oriental therapy treats many disorders including acute and chonic pain, respiratory disorders, digestive complaints, infertility, women's issues, psychological disorders, fatigue, insomnia, Bell's palsy and even hypertension.
