Treatments

After a comprehensive consultation based on Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic Medicine, a diagnosis is arrived at and a treatment plan is made. The treatment plan and the duration of treatment vary based on the diagnosis and the condition being treated.

Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine

Acupuncture is a 3,000-year-old healing technique of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In 1997, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) documented and publicized acupuncture’s safety and efficacy for treating a wide range of conditions.

Acupuncture improves the body’s functions and promotes the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific anatomic sites referred to as acupoints. The most common method uses fine, sterile needles, though pressure, heat, electrical stimulation, manual massage, moxibustion, cupping, and topical herbal applications may enhance the effects.

Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal formulas, some used for over 2,200 years, combine ingredients that function together. In classical Traditional Chinese Medicine herbal formulas, each herb has a different purpose or role to help the body achieve harmony. TCM similarly views foods as carrying different healing energies that target specific organs.

Abhyanga

Abhyanga combines the 5,000-year-old Indian principles of Ayurveda — the science of life — with pressure points. This therapy creates balance among mind, body, and spirit. Organic oil blends infused with Ayurvedic herbs enter the body through the skin, binding to toxins for detoxification.

Shirodhara

Shirodhara has a profound impact on the nervous system. The treatment directly and immediately calms, relaxes, and has a cleansing effect on the mind and nerves. Gentle pressure and warming oil allow deep rest similar to meditation.
