What is acupuncture and chinese herbal medicine?
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine have supported billions of people across millennia, spanning continents and cultures. Through the precise placement of fine needles at specific acupuncture points, we can help undo the lingering effects that cause imbalance, dis-ease, and the symptoms you experience. These ancient healing arts empower us to reverse unhealthy patterns that lead to illness—and just as importantly, to prevent new problems from taking root or old ones from worsening.
Chinese herbal medicine, with its time-tested formulas, complements acupuncture perfectly. These formulas often combine 4 to 10 different herbs, each selected to work together harmoniously. Today, many are conveniently available in pill or capsule form, making it easy to take them consistently over weeks or months for lasting benefit.
With over 52 years of experience practicing and teaching these methods, I’ve seen nearly every illness and symptom that time and imbalance can bring. My skills in diagnosis and treatment have never been sharper, and I’m passionate about guiding you to unlock the profound healing potential these arts offer—especially as the years pass and life’s challenges accumulate.
Come discover how acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can become a treasured part of your health journey, helping you thrive at every stage of life.
what are the emotions, Really?
E-Motio (from the Latin)
This means 'from movement.'
The emotion of sorrow or grief, associated with the Lungs, moves downward, like the descent of an elevator with the suspending cable cut. Down and in.
The emotion of anger, associated with the Liver, rises up and out, just like how someone gestures when angry, with arms raised and hands moving suddenly.
The emotion of joy, associated with the Heart, rises to the top and animates our faces.
The emotion of fear, associated with the Kidneys, falls to the bottom and pulls everything down with it.
Excessive pensiveness, like preoccupation or obsession, or even just circling thoughts, associated with the Spleen, just goes around and around, not going anywhere new.
These emotional directions are directors of our health just as much as what we eat or what we do or what we're exposed to. They are known as the Internal Causes of Disease in Chinese medicine.
