Chinese Herbal Medicine is one of the great herbal systems of the world, with an unbroken tradition going back to the 3rd century BC.
Yet throughout its history it has continually developed in response to changing clinical conditions, and has been sustained by research into every aspect of its use. This process continues today with the development of modern medical diagnostic techniques and knowledge.
Because of its systematic approach and clinical effectiveness it has for centuries had a very great influence on the theory and practice of medicine in the East, and more recently has grown rapidly in popularity in the West. It still forms a major part of healthcare provision in China, and is provided in state hospitals alongside western medicine in 2/3 of the world. Chinese medicine includes all oriental traditions emerging from Southeast Asia that have their origins in China.

It is a complete medical system that is capable of treating a very wide range of conditions.

Chinese Herbal Medicine, along with the other components of Chinese medicine, is based on the concepts of Yin and Yang. It aims to understand and treat the many ways in which the fundamental balance and harmony between the two may be undermined and the ways in which a person's Qi or vitality may be depleted or blocked. Clinical strategies are based upon diagnosis of patterns of signs and symptoms that reflect an imbalance.

However, the tradition as a whole places great emphasis on lifestyle management in order to prevent disease before it occurs. Chinese medicine recognises that health is more than just the absence of disease and it has a unique capacity to maintain and enhance our capacity for well being and happiness.

Chinese herbal medicine has a role to play in the treatment of the following conditions:

- Skin disease, including eczema, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, urticaria
- Gastro-intestinal disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome, chronic constipation, ulcerative colitis
- Gynaecological conditions, including pre-menstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhoea, endometriosis, infertility
- Hepatitis and HIV: some promising results have been obtained for treatment of Hepatitis C, and supportive treatment may be beneficial in the case of HIV
- Chronic fatigue syndromes, whether with a background of viral infection or in other situations
- Respiratory conditions, including asthma, bronchitis, and chronic coughs, allergic and perennial rhinitis and sinusitis
- Rheumatological conditions (e.g. osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis)
- Urinary conditions including chronic cystitis
-Psychological problems (e.g. depression, anxiety).

Many of these conditions, especially in their chronic forms, create great difficulty for conventional medicine, whilst Chinese Herbal Medicine has a great deal to offer. The results that can be expected and how long a patient will have to take the herbs for will depend on the severity of the condition, its duration, and the general health of the patient.

Cupping is a type of alternative therapy that originated in China. It involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The suction facilitates healing with blood flow, as well as the flow of “qi” (energy) in the body.

Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This can relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It can also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue. People use cupping to complement their care for a host of ailments and conditions.

Cupping has been used to treat a wide variety of conditions. It may be particularly effective at easing conditions that create muscle aches and pains. Since the cups can also be applied to major acupressure points, the practice is possibly effective at treating digestive issues, skin issues, and other conditions commonly treated with acupressure.

Cupping therapy may help with the following conditions, among others:

Pain
Asthma
Herpes zoster
Facial paralysis
Respiratory illnesses
Acne
Cellulitis
Lumbar disc herniation
Cervical spondylosis

Prolozone® is a homeopathic/vitamin/oxygen-ozone injection technique. It is excellent for all forms of musculo-skeletal and joint pain including chronic neck and back pain, rotator cuff injuries, degenerative and arthritic hips and knees, degenerated discs, and shoulder and elbow pain. Because in many cases Prolozone actually corrects the pathology of the disorder, there is a 75% chance for the chronic pain sufferer to becoming permanently pain free. Ozone reacts almost instantly with the membranes of the cell. This oxidation of the membrane jump starts the cell, increasing energy production and utilization. This reaction produces a large amount of powerful healing chemicals called cytokines. Healing begins instantly, and the effects linger.

Prolozone is a form of non-surgical ligament reconstruction and is a permanent treatment for chronic pain. Prolozone is a connective tissue injection therapy of collagen producing substances and ozone gas which can reconstruct damaged or weakened connective tissue in and around joints. These substances are injected into the damaged connective tissue in and around a joint to rebuild the damaged areas. By repairing the connective tissue this is all that is needed to permanently reverse chronic pain.

Acupuncture Point Injection, or Acupoint Injection Therapy (AIT), is an integrative therapy that blends the best of Chinese Medicine with conventional and homeopathic medicine. Employing this technique, AIT certified Acupuncture Physicians inject natural therapeutic substances, such as homeopathic remedies, like Traumeel or vitamins like B-12, into acupuncture points specific to your wellness needs.

By stimulating powerful acupuncture points with proven natural substances, we can affect the body on a deeper level and create a healing climate.

AIT is particularly effective for the resolution of acute and chronic pain in the body, particularly in the shoulder, back, knee, and neck. We also use AIT techniques in many of our weight loss protocols, Cosmetic Acupuncture programs, and even our B-12 injections.

Sometimes referred to as “biopuncture,” AIT earned well-deserved attention in early 2011and again in 2014 when Dr. Mehmet Oz featured the therapy on his television show.

In order to utilize AIT as a therapy, licensed Acupuncture Physicians must complete additional didactic and clinical training beyond their traditional education. An additional 60 hour certification in AIT must be earned in order to practice this technique.

“We understand a lot of people (ourselves included!) get nervous when they hear the word “injection.” Let me reassure you, the needles we use are of the smallest size and finest quality available, resembling no other hypodermic you may have encountered. This is a gentle modality that works with the body in order to achieve optimal health.”

This non-invasive treatment uses the Qi-5 Body Scanner Clinical System to assess and address Allergies, Emotional Imbalance, Digestion/Gut Health, Brain Balance, Smoking Cessation, Immune Support, Viral/Bacterial/Fungal Infections, Skin, and so much more . This revolutionary approach uses biofeedback technology to detect specific sensitivities, stressors, allergens, energy flow and stagnation, inflammation triggers, and imbalances at the organ level. It then listens to your body as your body communicates what it needs to regain homeostasis. The software sorts that information in order of top priority to treat. Once that data is collected, specific frequencies (allergens) are administered via laser technology to stimulate nerve bundles in the central nervous system, which then stimulate the healing process and “re-educate” the nervous system to no longer incorrectly associate specific triggers.

Cosmetic Mesotherapy for localized fat reduction is the injection of homeopathic substances into fat deposits on a certain location on the body. Our bodies distribute fat to certain areas and, over time, these fat deposits can become harder and harder to dispel with diet and exercise alone. Injection therapy can target the stubborn area and help you achieve the appearance that you desire.

By using a combination of homeopathic substances, we can tone, firm, and smooth away cellulite on different areas including the arms, thighs, abdomen, hips, and/or gluteus. Targeted Cosmetic Mesotherapy on one area will require 8-10 weekly treatment sessions and then a maintenance program of 3-4 treatment sessions once or twice per year. Depending on the size of the area being treated, additional ampoules of formula may be required. Each additional ampoule in one area is $100.

Stress related to negative feelings with our outward appearance can lead to further health decline. Breaking the cycle of negative body image can bring us closer to leading a healthy, happy, and balanced life.
