Traditional Chinese Medicine is a method of healing that has flourished in China for over 5000 years. This ancient practice focuses on restoring the balance of the body’s vital electrical energy, called Qi (chee). An interruption in the flow of Qi will disrupt the body’s natural balance, and can result in any number of ailments. In order to restore this natural electrical balance, TCM prescribes acupuncture and herbal formulas, as well as fundamentals such as proper diet and exercise. In a beautiful and noninvasive way, TCM will stimulate natural healing, strengthen the immune system, improve organ function, and promote overall well being. Traditional Chinese Medicine can help with the following:
- ADD/ADHD

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the placement of very fine needles into specific points on the body where the flow of Qi has been disrupted. All of the points along the body are recognized as regulating specific organs and functions. By stimulating these points, acupuncture restores the body’s natural electrical balance and good health. Tuina (Chinese medical massage) is occasionally applied in this same way, another technique for restoring the flow of Qi. |

Herbs
Herbs come in raw form, and in capsules and powders. They are put into personalized formulas, tailored to meet the individual’s needs. Unlike many western drugs whose focus is symptomatic relief, the mindful use of herbs will actually address the root of the disease. They are often used to offset the harsh side effects of certain western drugs and procedures, helping the body to recover from antibiotics, surgery, and even chemotherapy. |

Proper Diet and Exercise
Proper Diet and Exercise are the building blocks of good health, and are too often overlooked or neglected. When combined with TCM, diet and exercise are a powerful way of keeping the body energized, alert and strong. |
