Acupuncture
Why acupuncture and ear acupuncture (auricular therapy) are growing in popularity.
What is Acupuncture?
· One modality of TCM
Acupuncture is one modality in the system of healing known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The focus is on specific points on the skin along "meridians". These points correspond to various organs and systems within the body - the acupuncturist stimulates these to encourage the body to heal itself.

Acupuncture is relatively painless.
The popularity of acupuncture is due its proven success in treating a wide variety of conditions. Patients have overcome their "fear of needles" when they find that acupuncture treatment is relatively painless. The fact that acupuncture is also effective eliminates the negative notions attached to this form of treatment.
How Acupuncture is done.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the skin. This stimulates specific points in the body with the aim of increasing the body's physiological efficiency and well-being. Besides treating a wide variety of conditions, it translates into a feeling of vitality and mental clarity.
Ear Acupuncture or Auricular Therapy
Ear acupuncture, or "auricular therapy" is widely used for many conditions, including addiction treatment, mood disorders, obesity, pain, and other conditions. The ear acupuncture points help to regulate the body's internal organs, structures, and functions. Auricular therapy has a long history of use in China. It was mentioned in the most famous of ancient Chinese medical textbooks, "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine." In modern times, auricular therapy has been shown to stimulate the release of endorphins, the body's own feel-good chemicals.
Acupuncture as preventative medicine.
In a way, Acupuncture is a form of "heal thyself" because it encourages the body to use its own mechanisms in developing resilience to stress, illness, and injury. It was for this reason that acupuncture was originally used as preventative medicine.

Group Acupuncture Sessions
Monday 4:00 to 6:00 PM.
Imperial Herb Clinic is offering $25.00 group acupuncture sessions and ear acupuncture sessions.
Group acupuncture is a less formal approach to acupuncture that allows the patient to experience the benefits of acupuncture without the lengthy appointments and puncture by many needles. Acupuncture is performed in one room with 1-3 other patients, allowing the healing energy to be contained in one space. 6 to 10 needles are inserted at the extremities and treatments last generally 30 minutes. No disrobing is necessary. These treatments can be very beneficial for alleviating stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, some pain issues and for general health maintenance/preventative medicine.
Ear acupuncture is done by placing 4 to 6 small beads/needles in specific areas of the ear. Beads/needles are taped in place and left in the ear for 5 to 7 days allowing the patient to stimulate these points and take part in their own process of healing. Ear acupuncture can be beneficial for treating tobacco or alcohol dependence, drug addictions, concentration problems, pain issues, and many other conditions.
$25.00 group acupuncture and ear acupuncture sessions will be held every Monday from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. No appointment is necessary at Imperial Herb Clinic. Bring your family and friends. Balance and heal naturally!
