Welcome to Lupine Acupuncture and Healing Herbs
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the formal term for the combined therapies of Acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, moxibustion and other healing modalities. TCM is safe and highly effective. TCM uses a ‘holistic’ approach, meaning that it treats any individual problem by treating the whole body systems at the same time.
While the effect of Acupuncture provides immediate symptom relief, it also strengthens and balances all the organ systems. It improves circulation and allows the body to heal more quickly and completely. Those who experience Acupuncture often heal, not only physically but experience new profound feelings of peace, clarity and harmony as the body/mind releases stress from pain, tension, illness, injury and emotional distress.
Herbal medicine is used as an adjunct to the Acupuncture if necessary.
