Acupuncture, Hot Stones, Gua Sha, Herbs

Their work and understanding of the human body as it relates to the environment became the foundation for present day traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine is about balance, substance and force ... about yin and yang. Every aspect of our bioelectrical chemistry can be categorized as either yin (-) or yang (+) and this is fundamental to diagnosis and treatment in CM. Everything that’s living has this polarity and it’s what keeps living organisms growing and thriving. Think of the battery in your car because it works in a similar fashion. Without opposing charges, it would be dead.

Your body has 8 super meridians or energy pathways that are with you in the early stages of your fetal development. Once the fetus starts developing organs, another 12 regular meridians develop and run in duplicate - on both the left and right side of the body. Each of the 12 regular meridians is related to a specific organ. The meridians form an energy network that covers the entire body. They link with each other and connect all structures and all parts of the body - skin, tendons, bone, internal organs, cells, atoms. This Chi filled network strives to maintain a healthy electrical vitality and allow the free movement of life force so the body can function as an organic whole.

The meridians form a powerful information network allowing the various body parts to communicate with each other faster than the speed of light. When the body is in a state of balance, the solids (-) and forces (+) are transforming and transmuting back and forth smoothly and the physiological processes cannot be seen. A process is only seen when the system becomes imbalanced.
