Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been practiced and approved to be effective in China for more than 3000 years. This technique was spread to Europe and American in the seventeenth century. Accumulated evidences from various researches have approved that acupuncture is beneficial to human health in various conditions.
Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) believes that two opposing forces of energy, called Yin(阴)& Yang(阳), together make up the life essence, called Qi(气), which surges through the body. Disease and illness are caused by an imbalance of Qi. By placing treatment over the specific acupuncture point will restore balance and regulate the free flow of Qi and blood in the body.

Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine is the other main part under the large healing system - Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM). According to TCM philosophy, everything in the earth is composed of five elements: metal(金),wood(木),water(水),fire(火) and earth(土). Herbs that used under TCM are classified under five tastes – sour, sweet, bitter, pungent, and salty, corresponding to the five elements.
Chinese herbal medicines are mainly plant based which are safe and organic with little to no side effects. Compared to western herbs that usually use a single supplement, Chinese herbal medicines are packed in multi-herb combinations, with the different herbs to target the main complaint, to solve the second complaint, and to reduce side effect or boost the cure effect.
