"A human being is part of a whole, the "Universe." Our task must be to free ourselves from the delusion of separateness, to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature."-Albert Einstein

Holistic health refers to a philosophy of medical care that views physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of life as closely interconnected and equally important approaches to treatment. Holism refers to the idea that an entity is greater than the sum of its parts. In the case of health, the entity in question is the human body. Maintaining good health involves more than just taking care of all the various components that make up the physical body—attention must be paid to aspects such as emotional and spiritual well-being as well. The goal is a wellness that encompasses the entire person, rather than just the lack of physical pain or disease.

Acupuncture is just one modality used within the integrated system of holistic healing known as Traditional Chinese Medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, includes Herbology, Tuina Massage, Food Therapy, Tai Chi and Qi Gong. It is a complete medical system that has evolved over thousands of years. All of these practices improve the flow of Qi in the body.

Acupuncture is based on the theory that there is energy, called QI, flowing through your body. QI moves or flows along energy pathways called meridians or channels. A blocking or imbalance of the flow of QI at any point on a meridian or channel may result in disharmony. A disharmony leads to illness or pain. Acupuncture unblocks and rebalances the flow of QI to restore health and balance, allowing your body to heal itself.

Acupuncture needles are metallic, solid, hair-thin, safe, sterile, and disposable. People experience acupuncture differently, but most feel no pain or minimal pain as the needles are inserted. Some people are energized by treatment, while others feel relaxed. When performed by a properly trained and licensed practitioner, acupuncture is safe and effective, free from adverse or addictive side effects. While undergoing therapy for one ailment, other problems may resolve concurrently. This is a common side benefit that demonstrates the value of balancing the quality and quantity of vital energy or QI within the entire person.

In addition to acupuncture, Chinese herbal remedies are also used to effectively balance the human body. They can work together with or sometimes in the place of acupuncture. Unlike prescription drugs, Chinese herbal remedies are cost effective and have fewer side effects. Herbal remedies are usually taken 1-3 times a day for as little as one month or as long as one year. Herbal consultations are included with your acupuncture visit. Click the HERBAL MEDICINE link to learn more about Chinese herbs and how they may benefit your health.
