Traditional Chinese Methods we employ:
Acupuncture: With a rich history of over 3000 years, acupuncture is a time-tested and effective approach for restoring balance and alleviating pain when administered correctly. In our practice, we utilize microcurrent stimulation on the acupoints, facilitating the correction of energy flow, also known as qi or chi. Results are faster than needling.
Chakra Balancing: Our approach to chakra balancing encompasses various techniques such as meditation, yoga, breathwork, and the incorporation of crystals and essential oils. We prioritize meditation, yoga, and breathwork as integral components of our practice.
Traditional Chinese Methods we do not utilize:
Needling for acupuncture: Although the likelihood of experiencing side effects from acupuncture is low, we prioritize safety and minimize potential risks. Patients with bleeding disorders, those taking blood thinners, or individuals with diabetes may face increased risks with needle-based acupuncture. Additionally, while exceedingly rare, there is a minimal chance of needle breakage causing internal organ damage, or deep insertion in the chest region leading to lung collapse. To mitigate these risks, we opt for the exclusive use of microcurrents. Microcurrent stimulation not only works more swiftly but also ensures the safest approach for this type of therapy.
