In addition to Acupuncture, the major component of Traditional Oriental Medicine is the use of Chinese herbal formulas to address the specific conditions that each patient presents. These formulas may be taken as teas or in capsules or tablets. They may be combined with single, Western herbs and natural supplements or homeopathic products.
Dietary therapy and nutritional counseling are an important adjunct to your treatment plan. Close attention is given to your dietary habits, cravings, and food allergies and intolerances and recommendations given to ensure that your diet is specifically correct for you. When appropriate, a clinical study of your urine, saliva, blood and other natural indicators are tested to provide a detailed analysis of your nutritional status with targeted recommendations to improve and optimize digestion and absorption.
Proper exercise, rest and relaxation are also vital to your well-being. We work with you on choosing the appropriate activities with emphasis on breathing, stretching, and meditation, as well as conventional cardio-vascular and strengthening exercises.
By combining all aspects of your life in a comprehensive health enhancement program, we feel you have the best opportunity for a life of vitality and satisfaction. |
