What is Acupuncture?

- Acupuncture is an incredibly safe, effective and relatively painless way to improve your health. Acupuncture has been around for over 2,000 years and has successfully treated countless humans and animals. Good news, you don’t have to believe in acupuncture for it to work.

- Acupuncture can help promote health, well-being, prevent illnesses, reduce stress and treat a variety of medical conditions. 

The classical way to explain how Eastern Medicine works is channels of energy run in regular patterns throughout the body and over it’s surfaces. These channels are referred to as meridians can be equated to rivers flowing through the body and creating eddy points that can be tapped into with acupuncture to affect the body.

- The modern scientific explanation is needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release biochemicals in the muscles, spinal cord and brain. These biochemicals can change the experience of pain, can trigger the release of other hormones or neurotransmitters influencing the body’s own regulating system. This all can help stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities promoting physical and emotional well-being.

- We use a number of different methods of acupuncture to treat each individual. Some of the modalities we can utilize for your treatment are: Acupuncture, Moxia, Electro-Acupuncture, Cupping, Laser and Laser Acupuncture (for people who are afraid of needles.)

- We only treat one person at at time and won’t leave you in a room by yourself. This ensures we are available to tend to you immediately if you have questions or concerns during your treatment.

What are Chinese Herbs?

Although acupuncture is very effective, herbs, for certain disorders, will be more effective in helping the body heal.  Like the acupuncture points chosen, each herb is chosen not only for its individual effects, but for its synergistic effects with the other herbs in your customized formula. The purpose is to help restore balance in the body and to correct the underlying root cause, in order to alleviate and prevent symptoms. 

What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?

The Mei Zen cosmetic Acupuncture system utilizes an ancient needling technique that is very superficial.  This technique brings Qi and increases circulation to the face which can improve and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.  As this system is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, it uses acupuncture point selections on the body to complete the balancing of energy.  This results in an overall rejuvenating effect of body, mind and spirit.  We not only work on the beauty of your face but the overall health of your body!
How it works:

Cosmetic Acupuncture targets the dermis layer of the skin creating micro-traumas.  These small micro-traumas increase circulation to the face and neck improving the production of collagen and elastin.  This helps fill in those pesky lines and wrinkles.

A Few Reported Benefits:

• Improvement of fine facial lines and a diminishing effect upon deeper wrinkles.
• Moisturized, softer skin and a more even skin tone.
• Improved muscle tone and firmer jaw line.
• Reduction of the beginning of jowls.
• Reduction or elimination of rosacea and acne.

Cold Laser can be used instead of Acupuncture if you are afraid of needles.  It can also be used in conjunction with laser.  Laser and has been shown to help blood circulation, cellular membrane metabolism, nerve function, easing pain, improving microcirculation and reducing inflammation.  

Some of the ailments we have worked with is arthritis, pain; including tennis elbow, neck pain and alopecia.  It can help with a multitude of ailments.  

Qigong is a fantastic way to calm the mind and center the body.  Patients have reported qigong helped ease their anxiety, reduce stress, feel more centered and balanced and helped them sleep.  We often do classes over telemedicine so you can do this in the comfort of your own home.  Call or email to learn how to sign up.
