Acupuncture

The Art of Acupuncture

The over 3,500-year-old practice of Acupuncture stems from the simple yin/yang theory. Everything on Earth has its equal and its exact opposite. Metaphorically, yin can be simply explained as the shady side of a mountain or your quiet introverted nature, whilst the yang is your more active nature or the sunny side of the same mountain. There is a delicate balance of these yin/yang aspects and when one is caught in excess, then naturally the other will be deficient. Using Acupuncture techniques of reducing the excess or tonifying the deficiency, the body can be brought back into balance. Acupuncture is known mainly for its ability to treat pain. However its applications address a wider variety of disease states from asthma, headaches, common cold, and digestive complaints to chronic illness and cancer.

Your Healing Journey

Consultation

We begin with the patient relaying their health history. After the practitioner asks additional appropriate questions, the pulses and tongue are assessed to understand your unique constitution.

Fine, sterile needles are gently placed at specific points to stimulate your body's natural healing response. An appointment is usually 45 minutes to an hour.

Restoration

Acupuncture is an energetic medicine — beyond affecting the physical body, it also changes mental and emotional states of being. This is why it is important to find a practitioner that you feel a comfortable resonance with.

The Classical Chinese Medicine Oath

I promise to follow the way of the great physician. I will serve to live in harmony with nature, and teach my patients to do the same. I will stay calm and completely committed when treating disease. I will not give way to personal wishes and desires, but above all else hold and nurture a deep feeling of compassion. I will be devoted to the task of saving the sacred spark of life in every creature that still carries it. I will strive to maintain a clean mind and be willing to hold myself to the highest standards. It will be my duty to diagnose sufferings and treat disease. I will not be boastful about my skill and not driven by the greed for material things. Above all, I will keep an open heart. As I move on the right path I will receive great happiness as a reward without asking for anything in return. — Adapted from The Great Physician by Sun Simiao (581 – 682)
