Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. Acupuncture is a therapy that consists of stimulating designated points on the skin by the insertion of needles, application of heat (moxibustion), massage (finger pressure, shiatsu, or tuina), or a combinations of these. In addition to acupuncture, there are several other therapies that we can use. Laser acupuncture using low level light also appears to be very effective at the acupuncture points, and without the use of needles which some people find intimidating. Auricular acupuncture uses acupoints on the ear to treat the entire body.

Acupuncture assists the body’s natural healing powers by enriching and harmonizing the flow of vital energy within the body. By tapping into the vital energy flow, acupuncture produces not only physical healing, but emotional healing as well. The body is strengthened and the emotions are soothed.
The hair-thin, sterile, one-use needles are virtually painless. The results of the needles’ effect on energy and blood flow within the body are profound and often-times quite amazing. Where all other modalities have failed, acupuncture has succeeded.
Acupuncture is wholistic healthcare at its finest. Acupuncture heals body, mind, and emotions simultaneously and all without adverse side effects.

Ayurvedic marma acupuncture uses the 108 marma/acupuncture points...and the 14 major nadi/meridian prana energy channels to balance the Ayurvedic doshas, subdoshas, tissues, and 15 body srotas/channels in the patient. The marmas are a little bigger than acu-points and are more like mini-body chakras. The marmas are indirectly linked by nadis/meridians to the major body chakras. Through the 8 levels of the Ayurvedic pulse you can diagnose the nadis and marma zones that are praniclly blocked or congested===and then you can open up the marma zones and nadi/marma flows to relieve the pranic blockage/congestion. Their is a deep connection between the marmas and the subconscious/ unconscious mind. That is why marma acupuncture is a powerful body/mind somatic therapy.

Traditional Chinese Medicine views the body as an intricate system of organs connected by pathways known as meridians. Good health depends upon the smooth flow of energy, or Qi, through these meridians. When the flow of Qi is blocked or disrupted, pain and illness results.

Acupuncture restores the smooth flow of Qi by inserting fine, hair-like needles at specific points along the meridians. As the flow of Qi returns to normal, health and well-being are gradually restored. Acupuncture needles are ultra-thin and flexible, thereby permitting virtually painless insertion. Treatments last from 20 - 30 minutes. Patients describe the sessions as pleasant and relaxing.

Acupuncture is a major component of Chinese Medicine dating back over 4000 years. The healing mechanism of acupuncture is based on the flow of "Qi and Blood" throughout the body’s system of energetic or electric pathways, called "meridians". Blockages in the flow of Qi and Blood are believed to cause disease or ill health. Acupuncture works to rebalance the flow of Qi and Blood by stimulating specific acupoints on the Meridians of the body. Acupuncture is effective as Wellness Care, Preventive Medicine, and for both acute and chronic conditions.

Acupuncture treatment finds the core imbalances within the unique individual and returns them to harmony so that the symptoms, which are the body’s messages to us, are able to recede once the imbalance is addressed. The body recovers its ability to heal itself, and the patient recovers her power to listen to her body’s messages.
