Acupuncture & Natural Healing

Acupuncture is based on the premise that qi – a foundational energy for life and health – circulates throughout channels in the body. The movement of qi through all of the channels is similar to some of the circulatory systems described in Western medicine, such as the lymphatic or blood system. Optimal wellness is achieved when qi/energy is flowing steadily and freely. When the body responds to acupuncture, the body begins to “remember” how to heal its self. Acupuncture helps each person use their own natural healing resources to resolve their ailment.

Modern science describes that the human body strives to maintain a state of balance and wellness, known as homeostasis. Acupuncture is able to have the body’s own natural healing mechanisms that work to maintain this state of balance. Our bodies naturally create a variety of pain-relieving chemicals, anti-inflammatory chemical agents, hormones, and immune enhancers. Acupuncture helps the body use its own healing resources and processes to naturally conquer illness and disease. Chinese medicine complements mainstream healthcare very well and is safe and effective for a wide range of health conditions. I provide the necessary tools that allow you to manage your ailments and achieve your wellness goals.
