Herbal medicine is a key component of Chinese medicine.
I am deeply drawn to and excited by the effectiveness of plants as medicine.
The way we use herbs in Chinese medicine is different than Western herbalism.
Instead of using one herb for one symptom, we create a formula of herbs unique to each symptom set.
Taking an herbal formula can support the body between treatments and enhance the effects of the treatments.
Ailments that we have been experiencing for a long time or which reside deeply in our bodies may require herbs in conjunction with acupuncture.

Cupping is a technique used in conjunction with acupuncture to promote circulation, loosen tight muscles, break adhesions, and encourage the body to flush toxins.
It uses suction to adhere cups to your body, which are then either left in place over certain acupuncture points or areas of acute muscle tension, or are moved over a larger area of the body.
Cupping often leaves some marks or bruising as a result of the suction which will typically resolve within a week.
Moxibustion (Moxa) uses a Chinese herb called Ai Ye, or mugwort, to apply heat to acupuncture points.
