According to an ancient Chinese proverb, "The best doctor prevents illness before its onset". This is the underlying principle of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
TCM treatments focus not only on solving current problems but also place great emphasis on preventive care and maintenance by restoring and balancing the whole body system, regulating the production of hormones, and strengthening the immune system. This is the key point for the TCM Imperial Medicine served for the imperial family in the Forbidden City of China. We could fortunately share those used to-be secret medicine with the public today.
Maintenance care strips away the aches and pains that you can pick up during the day.
Preventive care is critical when your family medical history or your environment makes you predisposed to encountering difficulties.
Clinic
Service:
Acupuncture
The acupuncturist places extremely fine, sterile,
disposable needles at specific points on the body's
energetic pathways, known as meridians. These needles
stimulate your body's own electrical energy (Qi) to bring
your body's systems back to balance.
Moxibustion
The dried leaves of the herbal moxa, are made into strip
and burned along the meridians over the skin.
Moxibustion is particularly effective in the treatment of
arthritis, asthma, and chromic fatigue syndrome. It is also
used to boost one's immune system, and to increase
circulation.
TDP Lamp
TDP Lamp (FIR - Far Infrared Mineral Energizer) is the
modern alternative medical device that applied under the
concept of moxibustion. Natural and safe, FIM is doctor
recommended for relief of Muscle Pain, Soft Tissue
Injuries, Arthritis, Sciatica, Bursitis, Shingles, Back
Pain, Joint Pain, Gout, Headache and Migraine Pain,
Recovery from Surgery and much more!
The deep penetrating FIM energy will be felt as a gentle
warmth in the treated area
The emitted FIM energy penetrates up to 3½ inches, and
stimulates microcirculation, delivering higher levels of
oxygen and nutrients to the injured cells, while
eliminating toxins and cellular waste. This begins the
healing process as pain is relieved.
Cupping
Cupping refers to a TCM practice in which a cup is applied
to the skin and the pressure in the cup is reduced (by
using change in heat or by suctioning out air), so that the
skin and superficial muscle layer is drawn into and held in
the cup. In some cases, the cup may be moved while the
suction of skin is active, causing a regional pulling of
the skin and muscle (the technique is called gliding
cupping). The power of cupping can be applied as the same
of acupuncture needle to stimulate the meridian system and
eliminate inflammation and toxins.
Tuina
( acupressure massage)
& Pediatric
Tuina
Finger pressure is used to stimulate the acupoints and
meridians. Pressure on specific combinations of acupoints
help open and balance energy pathways that have been
restricted thus promoting the flow of Qi and blood in the
meridians and its collaterals. The Pediatric Tuina normally
apply only on the left hand and arm of the baby for 20-30
minutes to wipe away the ailments. The specific school of
Pediatric Tuina has been popular in China over 300 hundreds
years by its quick effect and non-harmful treatment. We are
the only one of this style practice in Canada. Tuina can
treat all concerns covered by massage therapy, and also
internal disorders under acupuncture therapy.

FAQs
What might I expect from an
acupuncture treatment?
Acupuncture needles are extremely fine (approx 0.2 mm).
They feel nothing like a hyperdermic needle doctors use for
injections. When the needles are inserted you may
experience a sensation of tingling or warmth. People are
often surprised to find that treatments are actually quite
relaxing. In general, the effect of acupuncture is gentle
with minimum side effects.
Are the needles
sterile?
Yes. All needles used are individually packaged, sterile,
and disposed of after single use.
How long do treatments last?
An initial visit will last 1 – 1 ½ hours. This
will include consultation, evaluation and treatment.
Follow-up appointments will last between 45 minutes to 1
hour.
How many treatments are
needed?
The number of treatments needed varies from patient to
patient, depending on severity and duration of disease,
patient lifestyle and compliance. Usually, patients should
come for treatment twice a week for the first few weeks,
then once a week as the condition improves. When the
condition is stabilized, the patient can come once every
two weeks or once a month for maintenance. It is advisable
for patients to come in for periodic check-ups to prevent
future problems.
