Over 15 million Americans have turned to Alternative Medicine, making it the complementary treatment of choice for Americans everywhere. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a wide variety of techniques to diagnose and treat many diseases by addressing the unique health conditions of each individual patient. It is a holistic medical system composed of several sophisticated techniques. According to Chinese medical theory, the presence of any pain or illness is an indication that the energy, which flows through the body, is weakened or obstructed. Acupuncture and Herbal medicine can alleviate pain and illness, relieve stress and strengthen your immune system.

Acupuncture literally means, "needle piercing". It is the practice of inserting very fine needles into the skin to stimulate specific anatomic points in the body (called acupoints) for therapeutic purposes. Acupuncture helps the energy to flow into areas where it is deficient and to flow away from areas where it is in excess. By balancing the energy flow, the body is able to make self-adjustments to promote health.

Over the years, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has funded a variety of research projects on acupuncture, including studies on the mechanisms by which acupuncture may produce its effects, as well as clinical trials and other studies. There is also a considerable body of international literature on the risks and benefits of acupuncture, and the World Health Organization lists a variety of medical conditions that may benefit from the use of acupuncture or moxibustion. Such applications include prevention and treatment of nausea and vomiting; treatment of pain and addictions to alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs; treatment of pulmonary problems such as asthma and bronchitis; and rehabilitation from neurological damage such as that caused by stroke.
