Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbology or Chinese herbalism, like acupuncture, functions as an integral component of Chinese medicine. Chinese herbology utilizes an intricate medical system that combines pure and powerful substances derived from nature. This ancient yet efficient practice takes into account an individual’s entire body as the collective sum of his or her parts. Chinese herbal medicine considers a patient’s individualized condition, assesses his or her unique Chinese medical pattern diagnosis, and then prepares a customized herbal formula to address his or her chief complaint and associated pattern diagnoses.

Chinese herbs can be used to treat various internal medicine conditions, such as asthma, allergies, digestive disorders, menstrual irregularities, urinary dysfunction, migraines, and autoimmune disorders. Chinese herbology is especially beneficial in the treatment of chronic, stubborn, mysterious, or misunderstood conditions.

My Acu Spa employs a granular pharmacy on the premises, making it a convenient location for you to pick up your customized formula in the same place that you received your herbal consultation!

Nutritional Kinesiology

Nutitional Kinesiology combines Eastern and Western principles of nutritional health with applied kinesiology. Nutritional consultations involve an initial assessment of your current nutritional intake and physical condition, as well as inquiries into your past medical history.  Once your nutritional and physical health is ascertained, a customized program of nutritional coaching with food therapy and/or supplemental recommendations will be tailored to help you fulfill your goals.

Nutritional consultations offer an extremely natural and empowering method to assist you in taking control of your long-term health and well-being.

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care focuses upon the relationship between the structure of the body and the function of the body. Gentle adjustments and slight manipulations to the body’s structures, such as the spine, can greatly improve the body’s normal functioning while benefiting the entire nervous system.

Chiropractic care has many short-term and long-term benefits, including:

Orthopedic pain relief Headache relief Increased range of motion Decreased muscle spasms Decreased arthritic joint pain Increased energy Increased performance

Increased sense of well-being Stress relief Increased balance and coordination Increased tissue healing Decreased degeneration Decreased inflammation

Basic essential nutrients are treated during the first few visits. Then chemicals, environmental allergens, vaccinations, immunizations, etc. are treated. NAET® can successfully eliminate adverse reactions to egg, milk, peanuts, penicillin, aspirin, mushrooms, shellfish, latex, grass, ragweed, flowers, perfume, animal dander, animal epithelial, make-up, chemicals, cigarette smoke, pathogens, heat, cold and other environmental agents.
