Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points, balancing the flow of energy to treat health problems. Chinese Acupuncture Specialists have mapped these points over a period of two thousand years. Modern day electromagnetic research has confirmed their locations.

CHINESE / WESTERN HERBOLOGY
"The scope of herbal medicine ranges from mild-acting plant medicines such as chamomile and peppermint, to very potent ones such as foxglove (from which the drug digitalis is derived). In between these two poles lies a wide spectrum of plant medicine with significant medical applications. One need only go to the United States Pharmacopoeia to see the central role that plant medicine has played in American medicine." -Donald Brown, N.D., of Bastyr College, in Seattle, Washington
