Traditional Acupuncture and Herbal
Medicine
is a complete medical system that has
diagnosed, treated and prevented illnesses for
over 2,000 years.  It is a system that considers
mind and body as an integrated whole and views
health and illness on a continuum.  Rather than
addressing only the symptoms, it treats the root
causes as well.  By mobilizing the body’s natural
defenses and healing mechanisms, it treats and
prevents both physical and emotional illnesses.



Acupuncture works on the body’s Qi (,
pronounced ‘chee’).
Qi is a Chinese term for all types of energy.  In
Traditional Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, qi refers
to the vital force which runs through our bodies and
influences our physical and psychological health.  
Illnesses arise out of disharmony in the flow of qi in the
body.  Acupuncture stimulates the flow of qi in order to
restore balance and strengthens the natural healing
process.
