Services Offered by Cambridge Acupuncture & Herbs

*Acupuncture*

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical practice that involves the gentle insertion of hair-fine needles into specific points of the body, known as acu-points. This stimulates the flow of one's Qi or natural healing energy. Acupuncture has proven to be highly effective for many diseases that are resistant to conventional forms of therapy. Its benefits include:

1. Physiological analgesic

2. Hastened motor recovery from trauma or paralysis

3. Immune-enhancing effect

4. Homeostatic effect

5. Body fat reduction and smoking cessation

*Chinese Herbal Medicine*

Alongside acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine serves as the other major pillar of traditional Chinese medicine. This practice is based on the belief that the body is governed by the opposing forces of Yin and Yang. When these channels are blocked, illness can occur. Chinese herbs work on these channels to improve the flow of Qi and restore equilibrium to the body.

*Acupressure*

Chinese massage encompasses a series of hand techniques to massage the soft tissue (muscles and tendons) of the body, acupressure techniques to directly influence the flow of Qi, and manipulation techniques to realign the musculoskeletal and ligamentous relationships.

*Patent Formulae and Slimming Tablets*

Many classic formulae have been developed over the centuries and are so useful that they are manufactured in patent forms. These are usually available as pills, with some patents offered as tinctures or as rubs, creams, sprays, and poultices for external use. Prepared patent herbs offer a quick and easy way to take Chinese herbs, with many being remarkably effective. Slimming tablets and teas improve metabolism, help curb the appetite, and inhibit the production of fat. They are made of 100% natural ingredients and are free from side effects.

*Cupping*

Cupping is an alternative practice to acupuncture that entails placing a cup over acupuncture points. It is useful in the treatment of problems of local Qi or blood stagnation in the channels.
