Information for New Patients

A minimum of ten treatments is optimal in order to receive the benefits of a medicine that addresses the root of your condition. Remember, Traditional Chinese Medicine is holistic and not a quick fix to relieve symptoms. Rather, it is based on an eloquent philosophy that corrects the abnormalities in your body and its systems that are causing acute and chronic symptoms. Chinese Medicine treats disease by altering the body's internal energies. This takes time, it is a natural process.

Treatment results are analogous to the Gestalt theory that emphasizes that the whole is the sum of its parts. When you treat one condition, your entire body will realize beneficial results through a smooth flow of qi and increased circulation.

An herbal formula that is designed to treat your specific condition will be prescribed as an essential, vital part of your treatment process. Certain herbs contain natural energetic substances whose essence gently corrects underlying deficiencies. Many of these botanical substances have been isolated and scientifically analyzed, however, it is the synergy of their actions when methodically combined in a formula that produces their potent effects. Herbs are a most important adjunct to your treatment.
