Medicine
The use of plants for healing dates back to the beginning of civilization and is the foundation for modern pharmacology. Plant substances from around the world
are used for their healing effects on virtually all body systems and nutritional value.
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
Based on balancing the flow of chi (energy) through meridian pathways along the body, Chinese medicine includes the use of acupuncture and Chinese herbs. It is
extremely effective for pain relief and in treating many chronic conditions.
Clinical Nutrition
Clinical nutrition examines the relationship between diet and health. Special diets may be recommended, and treatment may include nutritional supplements such
as vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other nutraceuticals.
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture
Known to have been in practice as early as the Sung Dynasty (960AD-1270AD) when it was introduced for the Empress and the Emperor's concubines, is a relatively
painless, non-surgical technique used to reduce and reverse the signs of aging. The procedure, which involves the insertion of extremely thin needles into
particular acupuncture points on the face, ears, neck, hands, trunk, and legs, is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This ancient practice
utilizes specific points which are chosen to manipulate the movement of the body’s energy (Qi) according to the individual's needs. Although the focus of the
these treatments is on facial aging, this process is one of revitalization, and is designed to assist the whole person in looking and feeling younger.

Based on the principle of “like cures like”, homeopathy was developed in the 1700s. Minute amounts of plant, animal or mineral substances are used the
stimulate the body’s self-healing abilities.
