Acupuncture has been a part of primary healthcare in China for the last 5,000 years. As in many ancient health practices, the emphasis of acupuncture is on prevention. Acupuncture is Chinese system of healing that views health as the balance of an individual's energy, or qi. Fine needles are inserted at specific points along meridians just under the skin. This process stimulates, disperses, and balances the flow of energy, relieves pain, and treats a variety of chronic, acute and degenerative conditions.

An acupuncture treatment runs between an hour and fifteen minutes to an hour and a half. This includes history/intake and palpation, followed by a 15-20 minute treatment on the front of the body and a 15-20 minute treatment on the back of the body. An acupuncture treatment commonly consists of needles and moxibustion, and may include other modalities, such as cupping therapy.

Chinese herbal medicine is a system of herbal combinations that have developed from over 3,000 years of empirical observation and clinical trial and error. Classically, herbal sources include plants, minerals, animals, and insects. The majority of Chinese herbs are plants and minerals taken in a tea, powder, or pill form, they serve the same purpose as acupuncture, and may be used alone or with acupuncture as an adjunct therapy.

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the burning of mugwort, a spongy herb used in many different forms, to facilitate healing. The actual Chinese character for acupuncture, translates literally to "acupuncture-moxibustion." The purpose of moxibustion, as with most forms of traditional Chinese medicine, is to strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of qi, and maintain general health.

Cupping is done by creating A partial vacuum in Glass cups placed on the skin either by means of heat or suction. This draws up the underlying tissues. Cupping is used to stimulate flow of blood, lymph and Qi to the affected area. It's uses include relieving pain in the muscles, especially back pain from stiffness or injury, and clearing congestion in the chest, which can occur with colds and flu.

What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy involves a process of adapting yoga very specifically to the various needs of an individual over time. This uniquely ancient and therapeutic approach is for people, including those who assume they can’t ‘do yoga,’ in all stages of wellness. Yoga Therapy can address a broad range of physical, mental, and emotional concerns. Your personal goals can be approached through this process, so please consider what you are seeking prior to your first consultation. Following the consultation, your teacher will design an appropriate practice, which you will be asked to do at home on a regular basis. After a series of weekly visits, the duration of time between appointments will reduce, until you may be seen once monthly, or even every other month for practice refinement.

Danielle is available by appointment.  Please call 631-220-4316
