Chinese Herbal Therapy

      Chinese Herbal Medicine is one of the major pillars of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a comprehensive health care system used for over 3,000 years in China and in the world today. Chinese Herbal Medicine is one of the great herbal systems of the world with an unbroken tradition going back to the 3rd century BC. People in China have been using natural herbs to treat a wide variety of diseases and conditions for thousands of years.Chinese Herbal Medicine is composed of over 5,000 plant (composed of roots, bark, flowers, seeds, fruits, leaves and branches), mineral and animal substances. However, about 600 of these herbs are commonly used. These herbs are combined into formulas that address health problems and support the mind-body system.

      Chinese Patent herbs are premixed herb combinations according to the traditional formulas developed by experts in traditional Chinese medicine through over 3000 years. They are similar to over-the-counter-drugs and usually in the form of pill, capsule and liquid. The advantages of Chinese patent herbs are convenient, ease to take, less expensive. Prescribed herbs are mixed by a herbalist according to an individual patient's symptoms and diagnoses.

      In general, prescribed herbs are more effective than patent herbs because the prescribed herbs are tailored to your symptoms and conditions exclusively by your herbalist.Herbs can treat a wide variety of diseases and conditions. Compared with chemical medicines, Chinese Herbal Medicine is much more gentler and safer because it is made of natural herbs.      

      Most of Chinese herbs do not cause side effects. Even some side effects that do occur among a few herbs, those side effects can be easily counteracted with other herbs. For these reasons, people turn to herbal therapy for a number of indications. More and more people rely on Chinese Herb Medicine as an alternative after chemical medicines failed.

Accelerated Allergy Clearing Technique

      An amazing system for handling stubborn health problems due to allergies. Accelerated Allergy Clearing Technique (AACT) is a natural, drugless, painless, non-invasive method that can be used safely for anyone from infants to seniors to eliminate allergies.

       As opposed to the Western way of handling allergies through medications, drugs and multiple shots, we handle allergies using acupuncuture gate points and cold laser therapy. With this technique, sensitivities to allergens are cleared one at a time and done in in a specific sequence. Depending on the individual, one or more items are cleared on a given day. In many cases, that's all it takes. People who are highly sensitive may sometimes require additional combination clearings.The treatment is painless and safe. More than one substance can be treated at a time. On average, a substance may require 3-6 treatments, some more, some less. Read more on AACT.

Acupuncture for Addiction & Detoxification

External Qi Healing 

      External Qi Healing is healing without medicine.  It has a history dating back to approximately 5,000 years ago.  The other name for External Qi Healing is "Wai Qi Liao Fa or External Qi Healing" (EQH). It is an ancient technique based on the idea that a healer’s energy can be used to influence the energy of the patent, to facilitate a shift in the patient’s own energy creating more balanced state, as a means of supporting the natural self-healing process.Basically, the practitioner cultivates their own energy to a point that the excess can be shared with others who need the help. EQH is a non-touching modality.

      It is based upon principles of Taoist philosophy and Traditional Chinese Medicine theory. It works invisibly, but the results are easily visible.

      Wu Dang EQH differs from other energetic modalities because its tradition is whole and unbroken, passed down through the centuries from Master to student. It differs from Japanese Reiki in that it is not a purely intuitive art but adheres tightly to TCM theory. Nor does it rely upon "secret symbols" for it to be effective. Unlike Therapeutic Touch, Craniosacral Therapy, or Medical Qi Gong, EQH does not add in scientific medical thought to make it more palatable the Western medical culture.

      Jayne Dabu, L.Ac. has succeeded in attaining the 150-hour certification of Master Yun Xiang Tseng in Wu Dang External Qi Healing.
