Chinese Medicine has been around for thousand of years and Acupuncture is one of it's strongest tools. The benefits of Acupuncture are becoming more common knowledge and more and more people are seeking treatments.  The theory behind Chinese medicine is that our body's energy flows in channels called meridians. There are 12 main meridians each one is linked to an internal organ. Most of the Acupuncture points are found along these meridians. Choosing the point or combination of points is important for the success of the treatments and that is why your Acupuncturist performs a diagnosis in the beginning of each session. The The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized acupuncture treatments to be effective for labor induction, sciatica,  depression, nausea and vomiting, renal colic, tennis elbow, neck pain, sprain, stroke, knee pain, lower back pain, morning sickness, biliary colic, headache and allergic rhinitis. WHO has also recognized that it has been shown that acupuncture has a therapeutic effect in cases such as fertility, herpes zoster, asthma, insomnia, fibromyalgia,  osteoarthritis, premenstrual syndrome and obesity. 

Herbs are used in conjunction with other therapies to promote health. Using traditional remedies combined with recent clinical advances in plant-based medicine, we can craft a plan to create better health. 

Cupping is a therapy that is very effective in treating problems concerning local Qi or blood stagnation in the channels. It could be preformed as complementary to Acupuncture or Shiatsu, or as a stand-alone treatment. Cupping is usually performed with round glass cups, but can also be done with plastic or bamboo cups. The practitioner removes the oxygen from these cups to create a vacuum before placing them on the patient. Once the cups are placed, they create a suction which in turn encourages the flow of qi and blood so that local stagnation could be cleared. Cupping is helpful in the treatment of pain,  stress management, common cold or asthma, gastrointestinal disorders, and more.
