Acupuncture is a 4000 year old natural healing technique which restores, regulates, and normalizes Qi flow (Life Force) in the body by the insertion of hair thin, disposable needles into the body's energy pathways (Meridians) and their respective acupuncture points, which are the vortexes of Energy that facilitate healing. Acupuncture can remove the blockage/stagnation which is the cause of illness and pain. Acuncture balances Qi flow to enable the body to heal itself. Scientific research shows that acupuncture releases neurotransmitters such as endorphins, serotonin, norepinephrine, etc.

Herbal Medicine is used for balancing, harmonizing, and cleansing the body's system. Used alone or with acupuncture, it effectively treats a wide variety of health problems and maintains wellness without significant side effects. Herbs assist the change of patterns and adjust their root cause. Scientific studies corroborate the usefulness of various formulas. Herbal formularies used are based on di Materia Medica (ancient book of herbs) and the Vedas of India, some Native American, African and European herbs.
