What
is Chinese Medicine?
|
|
Chinese
Medicine is a 5000+ year evolution of approaches
to health and well-being. Components
of this effort to bring about balance
and eliminate or reduce disease include both acupuncture,
and the prescribing, preparing and taking of herbal
formulas.
Acupuncture
is useful in helping circulate energy and blood. It
helps our bodies maintain balance and it nourishes
organs and tissue.
Acupuncture
takes advantage of the body’s natural channels,
called meridians (of which there
are many) to clear blockages, to improve blood and
energy flow, and to release the body
from pain, trauma, stress and other sickness producing
influences.

"Time,
patience, and nature
the three great physicians"
- Chinese Proverb |
A
Typical Treatment
takes about one hour and consists of the patient either lying
comfortably on a treatment table or sitting in a reclining
chair. Heidi then lightly insets very thin, sterile acupuncture
needles into the desired points. This takes just a few minutes.
Then the patient simply relaxes and allows the magic of the
acupuncture to do the rest. Most patients drift off to sleep.
When the treatment is done, Heidi gently removes the needle
and the patient is refreshed, free to go about regular daily
activities.
Acupuncture
can be very effective used in conjunction
with radiation and chemo therapy
to strengthen the immune system and improve
quality of life for cancer patients |
“Severe
neuropathy and chronic shingles, resulting from a tropical
parasitic infection and the subsequent treatments, were
causing me to suffer burning pain from my waist down.
After total frustration with conventional medicine,
I was referred to Heidi Barlin by a friend. Her acupuncture
treatments have provided me relief conventional medicine
was unable to do.”
