Service Modality: Nutrition Advice & Lifestyle Support

Chinese Medicine takes into account the thermal nature, flavor, and healing properties of foods. Nutritional advice is offered during your treatment session, as it will benefit the entire treatment therapy. Qi Gong and Tai Chi practice can also be incorporated in lifestyle advice. This involves slow movements that assist in qi circulation and lymphatic health. It also utilizes breathing techniques for relaxation and respiratory balance. Mindful breathing, as practiced in Qi Gong and Tai Chi, assists the body in circulating fluids and detoxifying metabolic waste.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient style of medicine that has been practiced for over 2000 years and is proven to be safe and effective when performed by a skilled professional. It is used to treat the root of your symptoms and bring the body into balance in a natural way. TCM practitioners use herbal medicines and various mind and body practices, such as acupuncture and Tai Chi, to treat or prevent health problems. In the United States, people use TCM primarily as a complementary health approach. TCM encompasses many different practices, including acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion (burning an herb above the skin to apply heat to acupuncture points), Chinese herbal medicine, tui na (Chinese therapeutic massage), dietary therapy, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong (practices that combine specific movements or postures, coordinated breathing, and mental focus).
