OUR HEALING METHODOLOGY
Traditional Chinese Medicine is best described as a wonderful combination of different and unique modalities designed to bring balance to your body. With that said, it is important to realize that the treatments work together to help relieve your symptoms while ultimately addressing the root causes. Herbal medicine is often introduced at a later stage to help focus on the root causes which are often more stubborn and require more effort to alter. A typical treatment plan would work in a frequency compression model. At the beginning you would have more treatments and more frequently to address the symptoms and build momentum, then as the symptoms subside, we would work on the root causes and space out the treatments.
