Acupuncture therapy is based on the theory of meridians. According to this theory, qi (vital energy) and blood circulate in the body through a system of channels called meridians, connecting internal organs with external organs or tissues. By stimulating certain points of the body surface reached by meridians through needling or moxibustion, the flow of qi and blood can be regulated and diseases are thus treated. These stimulation points are called acupuncture points.

Chinese Herbal therapy is the oldest form of healing known to man and is one of the most important aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This therapy aims to build and strengthen the body’s immune system’s response to fight disease. Herbal therapy addresses acute and chronic conditions. The use of herbs as part of the treatment for illness is safer and gentler than the use of pharmaceuticals. Because herbs are made from natural vegetation, there are rarely any side effects and can even be taken to reduce side effects from chemical treatments, such as chemotherapy. There are over 3000 different types of herbs that can be used in the healing process, though only 300-500 are commonly used. They are usually taken internally in the form of pills, powders, extracts, tablets, capsules and syrups. They can also be externally applied as a liniment, poultice, plaster or ointment. Chinese Herbs works alongside acupuncture treatment.
