Acupuncture Is the insertion of fine needles into acupuncture points to activate qi and blood, yin and yang to unlock the bodies healing potential.Disharmony is seen when there are symptoms or disease processes in the body, bringing balance to the body alleviates the symptoms and allows the body the heal itself. A successful treatment depends upon correct diagnosis, a dynamic point prescription and accessing the Qi with the needle. Moxibustion This is the burning of mugwart (ai ye) to tonify qi and blood, move stagnation and warm the channels. It can be done indirectly as pole moxa or directly as rice grain moxa. Patients may be given moxa as an at-home therapy as well. Gua Sha Gua Sha means, "to bring up the red", it is a bodywork technique that pre-dates acupuncture and is used to release blood stagnation and alleviate chronic pain. Gua Sha yields a highly effective result, however a bruise is caused during the process that can last for a few days. Cupping Traditionally known as fire cups, it has become popularized by the media as the marks have been seen on several celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow. A slight suction is appliedto the back with glass or plastic cup releasing heat and toxins from the body as well as relaxing muscle tension and moving blood stagnation. It is usedto clear the complexion, respiratory problems and pain management. This procedure can leave a mark that can last for days. It often provides immediate relief for several conditions. Chinese Herbology & Eastern Nutrition Chinese herbal formulas are elegant and balanced. They enhance the efficacy of most treatments and are well suited for most patients. Prior to prescribing herbs, I modify my patients' diet for their constitution and try to rebalance them with acupuncture and application of Eastern nutrition. This holistic approach allows their body to heal at the deepest level. If their imbalance still persists, then we start an individualized herbal regiment based on pulse and tongue diagnosis. Tui Na & Qi Gong These hand techniques, one manual one energetic, release blockages and tension from the body. Both invigorating and relaxing these modalities alleviate stress, improve function, and reduce pain and stiffness. NAET NAET stands for Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques.
