TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE / ACUPUNCTURE

This ancient form of medicine is based on Chi or the vital life energy that flows through humans in certain patterns or channels. When the flow of Chi is balanced, health reigns. If the flow of Chi is unbalanced or blocked disease occurs. Naturopathic Doctors use Chinese herbs and acupuncture to help the body to regulate its flow of Chi and reestablish balance in its flow. Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the Chi Channels. It has been studied extensively and has been found to reduce pain and improve acute and chronic conditions.
