Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are traditional healing arts that originated in China and have since been practiced around the globe. These practices are suitable to a wide range of ailments, including chronic pain, allergies, insomnia, accident recovery, headaches, just to name a few. In ancient times, acupuncturists used gold needles; in contemporary practice we use disposable needles that are discarded after each use. Thousands of people, of all ages and all walks of life, experience the gentle benefits of these practices. Because traditional Chinese medicine is founded on the idea that the patient and practitioner work together, and because of its holistic approach to well-being, many people find that acupuncturists spend more time with them and are able to address specific issues more effectively than other forms of medicine.
