ACUPUNCTURE
CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE
Chinese herbs have been utilized in Asian cultures for thousands of years. They are primarily of plant origin, and may include roots, barks, seeds, flowers and leaves. Each herb has different properties (cold, cool, warm and hot), flavors (pungent, sweet, sour, bitter, salt, astringent, and neutral), actions (lifting, floating, lowering and sinking), and affects particular channels and organs.
Most often, Chinese herbs are used in combination to treat various health problems. Herbs have different healing characteristics. Some properties include aiding digestion, improving circulation, naturally stimulating hormone release, and enhancing the body's own healing energies to restore balance and health with minimal side effects. Chinese herbs are traditionally taken in tea form, capsules, or tablets.
Acupuncture is the most important part of Traditional Chinese Medicine and has several thousand years of Ancient Chinese history. Acupuncture is based on the flow of Qi or the energy within the body. When the body is healthy, Qi flows harmoniously throughout channels and nourishes the organs and tissues. Pain and illness arise when the channels be blocked, and Qi cannot flow freely.
Acupuncture involves inserting fine sterile needles into specific acupuncture points on the body to move blocked Qi, or to replenish Qi that has been depleted. Acupuncture can help promote natural healing, enhance the recuperative power, and immunity of physical and emotional health.
Acupuncture is a safe and effective way to treat a multitude of medical concerns. Furthermore, it can help avoid further injury or illness and is a great compliment to other forms of medical care.
CUPPING
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of medicine
in which cups are put on the skin for a few minutes to create suction. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Cupping is used to stimulate the flow of the Qi (vital energy) and help correct any imbalances arising from illness or injury. Cupping is often recommended as a complementary therapy for many conditions and helps with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation, and general well-being.
AURICULAR ACUPUNCTURE
Auricular acupuncture is a type of acupuncture done on the outer ear. It is based on the idea that the acupoints on the outer ear itself parallel with different parts on the body. Therefore, the entire body can be treated from acupoints on the ear. Auricular acupuncture promotes both mental and physical function and health. This type of acupuncture has been found highly effective in cigarette and alcohol cravings, stress reduction, and appetite control.

FAQ's
Q: Will acupuncture hurt?
A: Acupuncture treatment is virtually painless. Acupuncture needles are very thin and completely different from medical needles used to give injections. When acupuncture needles are inserted into the acupoints of the body, you may feel a slight sensation, such as a little soreness, heaviness, tingling, or a small pinch. After, most people feel very relaxed and some even fall asleep.
Q: Is acupuncture safe?
A: Acupuncture is extremely safe. The risks of acupuncture are very low if the acupuncturist has been well trained. Usually there are no side effects, but very rarely you may experience slight bleeding and some soreness or bruising where the needles were inserted. Single-use, disposable needles are now standard, so the risk of infection is minimal.
Q: What can I expect from my first visit?
A: During the first visit, a complete, initial evaluation will be done to assess the cause of the problem(s), and the acupuncturist will discuss your health history, examine your pulse and tongue, and check your Meridian channels. Then you will receive your first treatment where you may or may not experience immediate relief of your symptoms; it may take a few treatments to experience results.
Q: What does a typical acupuncture treatment look like?
A: After the initial examination, the acupuncturist will choose certain acupuncture points and then insert thin sterile needles into those points. The needles will remain in the points for about 20 to 60 minutes, while you lie still and relax. The acupuncturist may manually stimulate the needles or use electrical stimulation. Sometimes after the acupuncture, cupping therapy may be used to enhance the benefits.
Q: How can I prepare for acupuncture treatment?
A: Eat a snack or light meal about one hour before the treatment and wear loose clothing. Also, avoid food and drinks that discolor your tongue, and don't brush your tongue before the treatment.
Q: How long does a treatment last?
A: The first visit will include an initial evaluation and treatment that will last about 90 minutes to 2 hours. Your following visits will last about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Q: How often will I need to be treated?
A: The number and frequency of treatments will correlate to the acuity and severity of the problem. For examples, chronic and more severe problems will need more frequent treatments than a less severe problem.
Q: What methods of payment are accepted?
A: We accept cash, check, credit card, and HSA. Most health insurances do not cover the cost of acupuncture in Indiana, so please check your health insurance before and notify us if acupuncture is included in your coverage.
