ORIENTAL + HERBAL MEDICINE CONSULTATIONS

ACUPUNCTURE
Practiced for over 5,000 years, acupuncture re-establishes the energetic balance of body, mind and spirit through the use of sterile, single-use disposable needles which are inserted at specific points on the body. Acupuncture excels at treating musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction as well as a wide range of disease patterns.

ACUPUNCTURE MASSAGE
The combination of acupuncture and massage creates balance on both a physical and energetic level. Acupuncture points are chosen based on your imbalances, and followed by a relaxing massage that supports the overall treatment.

ACU-ENERGETIC THERAPY
The ultimate in stress reduction, this acupuncture session is combined with an energetic therapy such as Polarity, Reiki, Qi Gong, guided visualization or a combination of these forms. This therapy allows you to experience a sense of wonderful expansiveness and a profound sense of peace and relaxation.

ACU-ORGAN DETOX
Experience higher levels of energy and mental clarity through regular acu-organ detox therapies. This method combines acupuncture and a highly effective hot oil abdominal therapy which releases and eliminates toxins while enhancing organ function. The 60-minute service includes an abdominal massage.

CUPPING
An ancient Chinese practice that warms and promotes the free flow of Qi and blood in the body, and is typically used to treat musculoskeletal disorders such as pain in the lower back, shoulders, and legs. Other disorders, such as gastrointestinal disease, cough and asthma, also respond well to this therapy. While cupping does cause mild bruising, it is part of the therapeutic process.

EXHALE ESSENTIALS
The perfect synergy - custom blends of essential oils, formulated to treat specific imbalances in conjunction with acupuncture points used to treat specific conditions.

TUI NA 
Practiced in China for over 2,000 years, this hands-on, manipulative body therapy uses Chinese Taoist and martial arts principles to bring balance to the body. Tui Na methods include the use of hand techniques (brushing, kneading, rolling, and rubbing) to massage the muscles and tendons of the body, acupressure techniques to establish a more harmonious flow of Qi through the muscles and meridians, and manipulation techniques to realign the muscles and ligaments. This focus on healing and increased function of tendons, ligaments, and joints greatly compliments other acupuncture treatments and strongly supports Core Fusion® and Yoga practices.

VIBRATIONAL THERAPY 
This profoundly relaxing and deeply healing therapy uses tuning forks tuned to specific frequencies. Each produces a unique physiological response that helps to ground, balance and integrate the body, mind and spirit. This system is based on the theories of Oriental Medicine and as such may be used as a needle-free therapy option to treat many conditions.
