Traditional Chinese Medicine combines the use of acupuncture, acupressure, Chinese pharmacology, moxibustion, healing diet,
and Qigong exercise. The techniques used in these modalities are all based on TCM theories. Traditional Chinese Medicine
works on the principles of qi, balance, and the meridian system. With stimulation of certain meridians, the body's innate ability to rebalance itself is activated, thereby initiating the steps toward true health. The purpose of acupuncture is to access and stimulate the meridian network throughout the surface of the body. Acupuncture helps the body reach a balanced, harmonious state. Herbal diagnosis and treatment, the application of moxa, diet changes and Qigong are all prescribed on an individual basis to treat the patient's specific disorder and its manifestations. Studies have shown acupuncture to be highly effective in promoting fertility. It can regulate cycles, boost ovulation, and improve hormonal balance. It also helps speed the recovery from the effects of drugs and surgery. Questions about acupuncture, TCM or wellness?
