Enhance Your Vitality

For thousands of years, acupuncture has been used as preventive medicine. Medical historians say that, in ancient China, patients paid for acupuncture treatments to keep them healthy, and if they became ill, they were treated for free! While that model is no longer in use, it illustrates the ancient perspective on the preventive power of this medicine.

Scientific studies have not yet probed the capacity of acupuncture as preventive medicine. But a great many acupuncture clients report improvements in many areas of their life with acupuncture treatment, from improved sleep, to better digestion, to more harmonious relationships, to increased energy and a desire for a fuller, richer engagement with life.

Traditional Chinese medicine grew out of the nature-based philosophy and keen observational skills of the ancients. These physician-sages knew that our symptoms are often teachers--gentle (or not so gentle!) guides towards lifestyles that nourish and enliven us. Listening to our symptoms and adopting heathy habits and practices increases the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment, and fosters resilience and vitality at all stages of our life journey.
