Asian Medicine
Asian Medicine, commonly referred to in the US as "Chinese" Medicine, is a complete medical system with 4,000 years of clinical application. Millions (even billions) of people have used it with great success throughout Asia: China, Japan, Burma, Thailand, Viet Nam, Korea, Tibet, Mongolia, Bhutan, Cambodia and Laos.

Individuals are seen as whole beings with interrelated physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of their being. Each aspect is in constant interplay with the others as well as with external stimuli such as environmental conditions, our lifestyle choices (diet and exercise) and our human interactions and relationships. Health is the moment to moment dance between all aspects of our being and these internal and external stimuli. When a balance cannot be maintained, dis-ease is the consequence.

Asian medicine uses several different modalities to assist you in returning to a state of balance: acupuncture, herbal formulas, nutrition, massage, lifestyle modification and energy movement practices such as tai qi and qi gong.
