Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. This is done by inserting needles and stimulating the specific points. Traditional acupuncture is a healing art and science which teaches us how to see the entire human being in body-minded spirit, how to recognize the process of health and illness and how to go about the restoration of lost health in an individual.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a healing art based on the laws of nature. It takes into account all of the marvelous complexity of each person in body, mind, emotion & spirit. It works preventively as well as therapeutically, doing whatever nature will allow within each unique individual. Thus, the amount of treatment & the response to treatment vary according to the person.
