Acupuncture for the Whole Family
As practitioners, we are taught that through our senses we can recognize that an individual’s temperament, worries and concerns, and even physical ailments, have the same source as an element of the natural world, be it Fire, Earth, Metal, Water or Wood. Identifying that element in a person and restoring it to health is what a practitioner aspires to accomplish.

The long history has insured that herbal claims have been tested for two thousand years. Herbal properties, such as temperature, category, taste, and indications have been documented, as well as their interactions with other herbs.
