About Chinese Medicine
According to the classical medical texts in China, "one must see the minor details of disease and know their source." As a Chinese Medicine practitioner, I use techniques of looking, listening, palpating, and questioning to become aware of the mechanism behind the illness/injury. The illness can be resolved either externally with needles or massage or internally with herbal and food treatment. In acupuncture, fine metal needles are inserted into the body to stimulate specific areas of blockage and restore the flow of Qi and Blood through the meridians of the body. The proper flow of these channels is essential for the healthy living of an individual. In the realm of herbs and food, taking in substances with certain flavors, temperatures, and energetic properties suited for the patient can resolve different forms of ailments such as digestive problems, sleep and mood disturbance among many others.
