What is acupuncture?
Over 5000 years old, acupuncture is one of the branches of traditional Chinese medicine, based on the insertion and manipulation of fine needles at various points of the body for therapeutic purposes. Traditional acupuncture is based on pre-scientific and vitalistic concepts, developing its diagnostic and therapeutic reasoning on a Taoist energetic view of man and the universe.

Our approaches
THERAPY
Traditional Chinese medicine works through the dialectic of the human body’s internal organs, meridians, joints, qi, blood, and fluids, so that the human body can achieve harmony between yin and yang, balance between justice and evil spirits, and the maintenance of meridian balance. This approach is used to restore internal balance. We use a variety of Chinese herbs to treat chronic and degenerative problems as well as certain difficult, rare, and complex cases. Medicinal herbs can reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, slow down the progression of diseases, and improve the immune system and quality of life. In some cases, patients will experience better clinical outcomes when acupuncture is combined with medicinal herbal treatments.
CHINESE MASSAGE – Tui Na
A deep tissue massage therapy. It combines the use of acupressure rolling/pressing and rubbing techniques to open the body’s defense (Chi) and stimulate the flow of energy through the meridians, muscles, and tendons. It is well suited for treating specific chronic conditions related to stress and muscle pain.
Meridian Facial Rejuvenation
A natural, safe, and effective alternative to cosmetic surgery. Through facial lifting, acupuncture, or rejuvenating facial massage, this technique stimulates facial metabolism, promotes blood circulation, lifts facial muscles, and reduces wrinkles. It nourishes and regenerates skin cells.
