Custom Herbal Therapy

There is no “one size fits all” when it comes to treatments for individual’s health issues. That is why over the counter and pre-made medications don’t always give people the best results.

Chinese herbs are a separate category of medicines altogether and rightfully so. They are custom batched for the individual patient and can strengthen the immune system, inhibit the growth of tumors, manage blood pressure, increase sexuality, etc. There are numerous herbs, including those that are considered common and those that are the jealously guarded secrets of traditional Chinese herbalists.

Typically, one batch of medicine is prepared as a decoction of about 9 to 18 substances, some of which are considered main herbs, others are considered ancillary herbs.

Cupping Therapy

 *Service is performed according to our doctor’s diagnosis and full treatment plan.

Most people have heard about cupping – they see movie stars and athletes with those round hickey like marks on their back and arms (these are left behind after the process for 2 to 7 days).  Then, you have others who see these marks and say “what is that…” Cupping actually feels relaxing. When you’re having the procedure done, close your eyes and imagine the pathogens being sucked from your body. The amount of suction all depends on the condition being treated – it can be mild or great. The cups can be moved (after oil has been applied to the skin), or they can be left over a particular area. Cupping is used to treat many health issues, such as: Constipation, Abdominal Pain, Asthma, Painful Periods, Fevers, Cough, Hypertension, Tiredness, Facial Paralysis from having a stroke, Varicose Veins, Treating Muscular and Joint Pain, Other spiritual, physical or emotional imbalances.
