Acupuncture is the 5000-year old practice of Chinese Medicine that utilizes sterile, non-toxic needles to focus and direct our bodies vital energy (Qi). These needles are skillfully placed by the practitioner along energetic pathways called meridians. These pathways are closely related to your fascia, nervous system, and circulatory system. They conduct a bio-electric flow through and between the tissues and organs that help to maintain a balanced system. When the flow of energy (Qi) is blocked or deficient, the body falls into dis-regulation and disease.

Oriental Medicine refers to the ancient and modern practice of East Asian Medicine, that incorporates Acupuncture, Herbology, Bodywork, Nutrition, Meditation, and Movement Therapeutics such as (Tai Chi & Qi Gong). Also sometimes referred to as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The philosophical root of Oriental Medicine views the mind, body, and spirit as an interpenetrating wholeness, that is maintained and regulated by the vitality and flow of one's life force, known as (Qi). The Healing practice of Oriental Medicine is meant to strengthen, harness and balance this energy within.

Biophoton Therapy

All living cells emit light energy and the light particles being emitted are called biophotons. These biophotons emanate from the core of each living cell and research shows that this light is part of the regulatory system that governs and steers the actions of the cells in the body. The quality, quantity, and frequency of this light reflects the condition of the cells in our tissues. When this... Read More

All living cells emit light energy and the light particles being emitted are called biophotons. These biophotons emanate from the core of each living cell and research shows that this light is part of the regulatory system that governs and steers the actions of the cells in the body. The quality, quantity, and frequency of this light reflects the condition of the cells in our tissues. When this light is in a coherent pattern and the cells are in good health. Conversely, when this light is a state of chaos or dissonance, this reflects a state of disease and possible pathogenic influence (bacteria, virus, enviromental toxins, ect.)

Biophoton Therapy uses the machine called the Chiren, to measure the level of coherence vs. dissonance of the cells. The Chiren enables the practitioner to assess the particular energy pattern of the disease and by inverting its wave pattern it is able to neutralize its influence, while bringing the cells light energy into greater coherence. Biophoton therapy is particularly good for chronic conditions that have been unresolved.

Meridian Autonomic Testing (MAT) is a diagnostic and therapeutic technique encompassing the principles of Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Applied Kinesiology, and Nutrition. MAT is a methodical muscle reflex testing technique that connects the autonomic nervous system with specific organs, hormones, and nutrients via the Traditional Chinese Acupuncture Meridians. If an energy deficiency is found, whether it is due to biochemical, nutritional, or emotional causes, it is treated with either a whole food based supplement or herbal compound. In other words, MAT is a way to subconsciously “talk” to the body and help discover what nutrients the body needs. Similarly, we are also able to “ask” the body questions on whether or not a specific food group may be the cause of any discomfort or allergic reactions you may be experiencing.
