Our Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an effective form of medical treatment that has evolved into a complete holistic health care system. Practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine have used this noninvasive treatment method to help millions of people become well and stay well.
Herbal Medicine
Herbal Medicine is the use of a plant’s various parts, such as berries, roots, leaves, bark, or flowers for medicinal purposes. Long practiced outside of conventional medicine, herbalism is becoming integrated as more research points to the value in prevention and treatment of many health concerns.
Nutritional counseling and supplementation
Our body is made up of 100 trillion cells and relies on us to deliver proper nutrients to the cells and allow the waste products to be released. A hefty order! Without all of the proper nutrients, our cells cannot function optimally, and this can result in a compromise of tissue and organ function.
NAET Allergy Treatment
NAET (Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique) is a non-invasive way to desensitize patients from allergies and sensitivities, both food and environmental. This technique was developed by Devi S. Nambudripad, M.D., D.C., L.Ac., Ph.D. Over 9000 licensed medical practitioners have been trained in this innovative technique around the world.
