Chinese Medicine

Chinese medicine is the oldest continually practiced medical system in the world that is still widely used today. Due to its relatively low cost and minimal side effects, Chinese Medicine has become a highly popular method of health care in the United States.  When hearing about Chinese medicine, most people are familiar with acupuncture but don't realize that acupuncture is just one part of a unified, holistic health care system that developed in China over 2500 years go. In addition to acupuncture, herbal therapy, moxibustion, dietary therapy, massage and qigong are also considered essential components of the medicine.

Since Chinese medicine is holistic in nature it addresses all aspects of the human being: the physical, the emotional and the spiritual. Since these are all considered to be affected by the disease process, they are included in the course of treatment. This all-inclusive approach leads to more comprehensive healing and a greater sense of overall well- being.
