Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments use hair-thin needles inserted at specific meridian points to restore energy flow and stimulate natural healing. This chemical-free approach effectively addresses pain management, emotional wellness, and systemic health issues. Patients experience improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and enhanced overall well-being through personalized treatment plans.
Chinese Herbs
Customized herbal formulas complement acupuncture treatments using time-tested Chinese medicinal preparations. These natural remedies address digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and chronic conditions with minimal side effects. Practitioners carefully formulate combinations tailored to each patient's specific health needs and treatment goals.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies controlled heat to acupuncture points using smoldering mugwort herb. This technique improves circulation, reduces muscle tension, and enhances energy flow. The non-invasive treatment works synergistically with acupuncture to address cold-related conditions and chronic pain patterns.
Cupping
Cupping therapy uses controlled suction to stimulate blood flow and release muscle tension. Traditional fire cupping and modern pump-assisted techniques effectively treat sports injuries, chronic pain, and circulatory issues. The treatment promotes detoxification and accelerates healing in targeted areas.

I've been seen for 3 years now. Acupuncture is part of my life and so is Jen and 5Elements. So, very grateful for the education, conversation and professionalism.
