Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a complete medical system that can be used alone or in conjunction with other medical systems. It has developed out of a long, well documented history that is continuously evolving through research and modern clinical experience. TCM uses five main modalities including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Chinese medical massage known as 'tui na', eastern dietary therapy, and moxibustion.
By integrating these five therapeutic modalities, you will receive a specific treatment catered to your individual needs. A treatment strategy will be created for you based on condition, chronicity, and constitution. TCM theory is based on the premise that imbalances and blockages in the body are contributing factor to disease. A holistic approach by simultaneously promoting well-being and relieving the chief complaint is our primary goal to facilitate a path to healing.
If a substantial amount of people are exposed to the same common cold pathogen, why do only some of them get sick and why does the cold manifest differently for each person?

I once had a patient report extreme diarrhea.
After we went through her diet she suggested it was the lemon water she just started drinking.
I would have sooner credited it to her overindulgence of simple carbs, dairy, high sugar and high fat foods, that she had reported sensitivity to in her initial intake.
She was insistent - it was the lemon water.
That's so odd you might think, how did she not know it was actually the overindulgences?
In Acupuncture school, I had a professor that would laugh at the ailments brought to her when they were self induced.
