Head To Toe Clinic - Nurturing Balance and Harmony

Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine is a complete holistic medical system that draws on over 3,000 years of clinical practice and research.  Today it is sought after for its effective, non-invasive, and low-cost approach to prevention and treatment of illnesses.

Acupuncture re-establishes the smooth flow of energy to harmonize the body's functions.  It balances the nervous system, aids the gastrointestinal tract, helps regulate blood pressure and strengthens the body's immune system.  This technique employs the insertion of thin sterile needles into strategically selected locations.  These points lay in pathways (also known as meridians) that criss-cross the entire body.  Gentle stimulation of the points with a fine needle sends signals to internal organs and muscles, thus helping the body to repair itself and restore proper function.

Chinese herbal medicine uses natural substances to treat the root cause of illness.  Trained herbalists select Chinese herbs based on their energetic qualities, functions and the different organs and meridians they affect.  Chinese medicine rarely employs a single herb to treat an illness.  Instead, practitioners combine medical substances into formulas that work synergistically to expedite the healing process and to strengthen and support the body.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy is based on the law of similars; like cures like.  A homeopathic remedy is simply a dilution of one or several plant, mineral, or animal substances.  These substances are diluted until either none or very little of the original substance remains.  It is the energetic signal, rather than the substance that is considered to have the healing effect.
Homeopathy is gentle and effective.  When utilized properly, the remedies assist the body in resolving ailments at the causative level and complement the innate healing wisdom of the body.
