Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at specific meridian points to regulate energy flow and treat conditions like chronic pain, infertility, and mobility issues. Our practitioners combine this with heat or electrical stimulation for enhanced results. This therapy leverages both traditional Chinese medicine principles and modern physiological understanding of nerve pathways to produce systemic healing effects.
Hair Analysis
Hair tissue analysis detects mineral imbalances and toxic metal exposure by testing a small hair sample. We analyze 38 elements, including calcium, zinc, and lead, to identify nutritional deficiencies or environmental toxins. Results guide personalized supplementation plans to restore metabolic balance and improve immune function or hormonal health.
Herbal Products
Custom herbal prescriptions combine 15-20 concentrated herbs tailored to individual needs. Available as teas, capsules, or topical lotions, these formulas address conditions like depression, acne, and chronic disease. All products meet GMP quality standards, ensuring purity and efficacy aligned with traditional Chinese medicine practices.
Nutritional Supplements
We provide Metagenics-certified supplements produced under strict GMP manufacturing guidelines. These products include targeted nutritional support for digestive health, immune function, and metabolic regulation. Scientific research underpins each formula to ensure safety and effectiveness as part of comprehensive treatment plans.
Quit Smoking Program
This specialized program uses acupuncture and herbal therapy to manage nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Treatments target cravings and stress responses while supporting lung function recovery. Personalized protocols combine needle therapy with customized herbal formulas to improve success rates for smoking cessation.
