Welcome to the Lotus Acupuncture Health Clinic! Many of you have probably heard of acupuncture, reflexology, aromatherapy, etc. and many other forms of alternative therapies and are curious, but at the same time, are a bit timid to try it out. This website is to help those of you who are curious about alternative medicine to understand more about it, and those who already know about acupuncture & alternative medical treatments to further your knowledge regarding it.
Acupuncture is a branch of Oriental Medicine, which also includes, but is not limited to, Herbal Therapy, Tui-Na (Massage therapy), Moxibustion, Tai-Chi, Qi-Gong, Oriental Nutrition, Meditation, and many more. Oriental Medicine focuses on treating the patient, you, as a whole, i.e. to diagnose you as a whole person, and not just according to your individual signs and symptoms; to provide you with Chinese herbs, if necessary; to perform acupuncture treatments that ensure the smooth flow of Qi (energy) & blood throughout your entire body; to include Tui-Na (Oriental Massage) for areas of blockage; to provide dietary guidelines for good nutrition; and to teach you how to meditate and relax your body.
Acupuncture uses the philosophy of removing blockages throughout your body, so that your body can naturally heal itself. It does not use Western drugs. However, there are times when we do work in conjunction with Western Medicine to ensure that the patient gets the best results possible. There are no side effects as all herbs used are natural and the treatment employs the use of your own body in treating itself.
I will be posting articles regularly on how to obtain & maintain health for your Mind, Body, and Spirit..
