Acupuncture is, simply put, a health science which is used to treat both pain and dysfunctions in the body. Acupuncture is deeply rooted in ancient China. Authorities agree that the science is 5,000 – 7,000 years old. Its use spread throughout ancient Egypt, the Middle East, the Roman Empire and later Western Europe as merchants and missionaries to China told of the amazing discoveries the people of the Orient had developed.

Chinese herbal therapy utilizes either single or combination of herbs for specific maladies with astounding success. TCM physicians have historically recognized the importance of herbs in healing for centuries. Chinese herbal therapy is applied alone or in concert with Acupuncture to achieve the therapeutic effects of the energetic reprogramming and rebalancing.

Auricular acupuncture, more commonly known as ear acupuncture, is based on the principles of TCM. It is widely used to treat many conditions including addition, mood disorders, obesity, pain and other disorders. Ancient Chinese viewed the ear as resembling an upside down fetus with all the body parts proportionately arranged in and on the ear. Therefore the acupuncture points found on the ear help to regulate the internal organs, structures and functions of the body.

Acupressure is actually quiet alike acupuncture. In fact, Acupressure is sometimes referred as “needleless acupuncture”, since both forms of healing use the same points to achieve the desired result. The main difference is that an acupuncture therapy uses needles whereas acupressure uses finger pressure to stimulate points.

Electroacupuncture is an acupuncture technique that has only recently come into use. Some scholars believe it was first used in Europe as far back as the early 1800s. Others claim that it was developed in 1940s in Japan or 1950s in China. Whatever the case, it is an increasingly popular form of treatment, and is used for wide array of conditions.

Cupping is one of the oldest methods of TCM. The earliest recorded use of cupping dates back to the early fourth century. In typical cupping session, glass cups are warmed by fire to create vacuum inside of cup. The vacuum created by the lack of oxygen anchors the cup to the skin and pulls the skin upward onto inside of cup. Drawing up the skin is believed to open up the pores of skin, which helps to stimulate the flow of blood, breaks up obstructions and creates an avenue for toxins to be drawn out of the body.

Guasha is a healing method in Asia by TCM practitioners. It involves palpation and cutaneous stimulation in strokes with a smooth edged instrument. Guasha promotes the circulation of blood and Qi to the muscles, tissues and organs. The benefits of Guasha are numerous: it cools the patient who is overheated, and warms the patient who is chilled; it nourishes the patient who is deficient, and clear the patient who is excess.

Electro Meridian Imaging (EMI), also referred to as “ryodoraku”, is a modern electronic evaluation system to diagnose the state of the balance of the twelve (12) main meridians of the body. The practitioner places a small painless electronic pen on the skin over specific Acupoints. By way of a sensitive metering device, the electro potential of the point is measured.
