What Is Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine?

Acupuncture and herbal medicine are core components of Traditional Chinese Medicine, used for thousands of years to promote balance and healing within the body. Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate natural healing responses, improve circulation, reduce pain, and restore energy flow (Qi).

Herbal medicine uses customized blends of natural plant-based formulas to address a wide range of conditions—from digestion and stress to hormonal imbalances and chronic pain. Together, these therapies support the body’s ability to heal itself, offering a gentle yet effective path toward long-term wellness.
