Lan he Acupuncture sessions combine all of the below listed therapies, tailored to your specific needs.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture restores the body to its natural state of balance and harmony.
Several thousand years ago, East Asian practitioners discovered that the body forms disharmonies as a result of the various physical and mental stresses of life. Oriental medical theory explains these disharmonies as an imbalance of opposing forces called yin and yang. This imbalance disrupts the movement of the body's vital energy (qi) along the meridian pathways, which are channels through which the body's energy is thought to flow. Acupuncture restores the smooth flow of qi. By inserting and manipulating hair-thin needles at specific points, I am able to return the body to its natural balance and promote the body's ability to heal itself.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion restores ‘heat’ to the body, promoting health and vibrancy.
Moxibustion involves the heating of acupuncture points with smoldering mugwort herb (known as moxa). Moxibustion stimulates circulation, counteracts cold and dampness in the body, and promotes the smooth flow of blood and qi. This safe, non-invasive technique may be used alone, but it is generally used in conjunction with acupuncture treatment.
herbal treatments
Chinese herbs are used orally and topically to support your body’s natural functions.
Chinese herbs are often used in conjunction with acupuncture for added therapeutic effect. While many cultures have herbal medicine traditions, the sophistication of Chinese herbal medicine is unsurpassed. Chinese herbal medicine has a long history reaching back several thousand years, and the resulting system is now used to treat everything from the common cold to symptoms associated with cancer.
There are thousands of herbs in the Chinese materia medica, of which about 300 are commonly used. Lan He Acupuncture uses a mixture of several different herbs in a formula that has is tailored to individual clients’ conditions. Chinese herbs are extremely effective and normally have only mild side effects, however it is very important to tell Lan about all the medications and supplements you are currently taking so that we can avoid any unwanted interactions with your formula.
