FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

 

 

Is it safe? 

Yes. Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology are safe medical procedures and are well-known for their efficiency and lack of side-effects, when administered by a qualified practitioner.

 


 

How many treatments will I need? 

That depends upon duration, severity, and nature of your condition. You may need only a single treatment for an acute condition. A series of five to fifteen treatments may resolve many chronic problems. Some degenerative conditions may require many treatments over time.

 


 

What are Chinese herbs?

Ancient Chinese herbal formulae are as effective now as they were when first introduced more than 2,000 years ago. 

 

Most formulae consist of up to eighteen different types of herbs. The formulae treat a wide variety of diseases while stimulating the body's natural healing abilities. Chinese herbs have demonstrated excellent results with patients who failed to respond to conventional pharmaceutical treatments.

 


 

Can acupuncture be effective when other medical care has failed? 

Yes. Whereas any system of medical care has its own areas of efficiency and excellence, acupuncture may help when other medical treatments fail. Acupuncture excels in such areas as chronic disease treatment, pain control, stress reduction, and the like.

 


 

What is Qi Gong? 

Qi Gong is an ancient Chinese practice that stimulates and balances the flow of the vital life energy along the meridians or energy pathways in the body. It cultivates inner strength, calms the mind and restores the body to its natural state of health. Practicing Qi Gong leads to the optimal functioning of the body’s self-regulating systems.
