Living Arts Acupuncture Tai Chi & Herbs

Oriental or Chinese medicine is a call to live life more gracefully, more gently and with greater spiritual integrity. Oriental medicine is about healing, letting go, and living with more awareness. Oriental medicine offers guidance rather than intervention, measures progress rather than compliance, and encourages empowerment rather than dependence. The benefits are good health, resilience and inner peace. Oriental medicine is comprised of five branches: acupuncture, medical massage (tuina), herbs, dietary therapy, and meditative or martial arts exercises including qigong and taichi. The best practitioners of Oriental healing arts will include all or several of the above modalities in their treatments. Living Arts Acupuncture Tai Chi &Herbs’ approach is always holistic. Mind and body are not separate: emotions often manifest through the body, while physical maladies can affect our mental outlook. In order to maximize wellness, I work with three basic principles of balance, circulation and conservation to help you with pain relief, allergies, drug less therapy, and many other health concerns. In our health, we need to balance our food and fluid intake with what our bodies need, adjust our clothing to the weather, and so on. Both acupuncture and herbs are helpful in restoring balance.
