Acupuncture is the oldest, most commonly practiced medical procedure in the world. The focus of the acupuncturist is to see the whole person; the symptoms are a part of the whole picture. This method of healing is based on natural laws describing the movement of energy in nature and the body. This energy, called Qi, flows throught the body in channels or pathways similar to rivers moving along the earth. Health is a natural state of the body, and illness arises when Qi is blocked. Stress can upset and disturb the natural movement of Qi. Therefore, practices such as yoga, meditation, Tai Chi, and Chi Kung are all focused on addressing the body, mind and spirit.
Who comes for Acupuncture?
Many people come to acupuncture for help with specific issues and symptoms. Some people choose acupuncture to strengthen their immune system, and constitution, while others consider acupuncture because they just don`t feel quite right.
Yet they cannot attribute it to an actual illness or symptom. Acupuncture can be used for all of the above,and as a complement to conventional medicine in the treatment of acute and chronic disease.

Traditional 5 Elements Acupuncture
The five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water, are represented by five emotions,five pairs of internal organs, and five specific areas which exhibit our strengths as well as our weaknesses. According to this tradition there is a link between physical symptoms and emotional imbalance, or distress. Each element is correlated to internal organs,and in nature each element relates to each season of the year,as the phases from which all things pass from their beginning to their end.
The aim of five element acupuncture is not only to address the complaint, but to provide support for that weakness. To live life as fully as possible and discover a greater sense of self.
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture (F.R.)
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture specifically affects the face while simultaneously treating the underlying
factors that contribute to the aging process. Treatment is aimed at stimulating Qi and blood flow to the face
reducing the visible signs of aging.
Facial rejuvenation may erase as many as five to fifteen years from the face with results after just a few
treatments. Fine lines maybe entirely eliminated, while deeper lines and wrinkles are diminished.
A treatment of F.R helps stimulate collagen production,muscle tone,brightening of the eyes, dermal contraction,
and improves hormonal balance to help with acne and skin disorders.
Treatment plan is a series of seven to ten treatments, once or twice per week.
