Classical Homeopathic Treatment
This powerful system of medicine is more than 200 years old and is widely accepted in other countries. The Royal Family of England and the President of India use a homeopathic doctor. Homeopathic medicines act to strengthen and direct the body's innate immune response, so they seldom have side effects. Many chronic and recurring conditions for which conventional medicine has no effective cure will respond well to homeopathic treatment. Emphasis is placed on understanding and treating the underlying cause of each individual's imbalance. This holistic approach to health addresses mental and emotional as well as physical conditions.
Acupuncture
In the Chinese medical model, thin sterile needles can be inserted at specific points on the body to remove an imbalance or blockage of energy that may be causing pain or other symptoms. The points are carefully selected according to the person's signs and symptoms and each treatment is tailored to the individual's needs. In restoring balance to a person's body, acupuncture returns them to a healthy state.
Western or Chinese Herbal Therapies
Herbal or botanical medicine uses plant, mineral, or animal substances to act as powerful medicines. Herbs are often safe and effective if used properly, in the correct dose, and in proper combination with other herbs or treatments. A resurgence of scientific research in Europe and Asia is demonstrating that many plant substances are superior to synthetic drugs in a wide variety of clinical situations, with less reported side effects.
