Acupuncture is based on a comprehensive system of medicine known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and has been in use in Asia for thousands of years.
Acupuncture treats health conditions by stimulating acupuncture points found at specific locations on the surface of the body.
Acupuncturists stimulate the acupuncture points by inserting very thin needles through the skin to produce physiological effects.
The theory of acupuncture is that proper physiological function and health depend on the circulation of nutrients, substances and energy called qi (pronounced "chee") through a network of channels or meridians.

Chinese herbal medicine is often used in conjunction with acupuncture to treat a wide variety of conditions.

Chinese herbs can also be prescribed without acupuncture.
The Chinese herbal pharmacopeia includes hundreds of medicinal substances, which are mostly plants, but also minerals and animal products.
Each herb is classified by the action it has within the body.
Different parts of the plants such as the leaves, roots, stems, flowers and seeds are used.

Moxibustion (also referred to as "moxa") is a form of heat therapy that is used in Chinese medicine to invigorate the flow of qi, blood, lymph and other body fluids while dispelling certain pathogenic influences.
The substance is an herb called mugwort or Artemisia vulgaris, which we burn and hover close to the skin over specific acupuncture points.
This herb is so integral in Chinese medicine treatments, that the ancient Chinese character for acupuncture ("zhenjiu, " which is pronounced "juhn-jee-yew" ) is translated literally as "acupuncture/moxibustion."

The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy are founded on an ancient Maya technique of abdominal massage.
This technique is performed externally by gently guiding and supporting organs back into their optimal position, allowing for improved functioning for optimal health and wellness.
Arvigo Therapy is best known for addressing misalignment or congestion in the reproductive organs of both menand women, as well as many common digestive disorders.
The techniques effectively alleviate tissue congestion and organ constriction to improve the vital flows of energy, blood, lymph and nerves in the abdomen.
