Chinese Herbs/Herbology: One of the more important modalities utilized in TCM. Each herbal medicine is a mix of natural herbs (sometimes many types of) specially tailored to the individual. Often used in combination with Acupuncture, it has been shown to be helpful for many conditions.
Moxibustion: Moxibustion is a form of heat therapy in which dried plant materials called "moxa" are burned on or very near the surface of the skin. The intention is to warm and invigorate the flow of Qi in the body and dispel certain pathogenic influences.
