Who We Work With
We work with adults and children over 9 years old. We work with those willing to explore Chinese and alternative/complementary medicine, those who are looking for alternatives to the Western medical model who desire a more hands-on approach to treatment options.
We treat physical pain such as low back pain or psycho/emotional pain such as anxiety, depression, stress, also eating disorders, menstrual difficulties, gastrointestinal disorders, insomnia, cold and flu. We work with the physical manifestation of psycho/emotional imbalances.
- Case Study
- A female in an abusive relationship experiencing digestive problems, insomnia and chronic cystitis (urinary tract infection). Diagnosis according to Chinese Medicine: Liver Qi stagnation with Heat, Spleen Qi deficiency with dampness, Stomach heat, Heart fire draining into Small Intestine and Urinary Bladder.
- Solution
- We discussed with patient the possibilities for transformation of her current condition and relationship. We strengthened the patient's ability to honestly assess her situation. We used herbs and acupuncture to open channels and orifices, calm shen, soothe Liver Qi, clear Stomach heat and Heart fire, strengthen Spleen Qi, drain heat from Urinary Bladder, regulate Spleen and Stomach. We worked with the emotional aspects of organ energies to strengthen the patient's ability to transition into making more productive and satisfying life choices.
- Results
- Digestion improved, cystitis relieved, patient able to sleep better. Patient able to focus on her own value in the world and reject any form of abuse. Patient able to "digest" the issues of her life to make better decisions.
