Acupuncture
Acupuncture, as it is practiced today, is a facet of a tradition of Chinese Medicine that dates back 3,000-5,000 years to Japan, Korea, India, Tibet and China.
Its effectiveness for treating a wide range of disorders and ailments are so well recognized that the World Health Organization has acknowledged acupuncture as an effective medical treatment, stating that, "The sheer weight of medical evidence demands that acupuncture must be taken seriously as a clinical procedure of considerable value."
Herbal Medicine
"Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food" -Hippocrates
It can be very confusing to determine the true value of a supplement. Most widely available vitamin supplements today are produced from synthetic chemicals created in labs by pharmaceutical companies. The general bias is to isolate a single component of a food source rather than use the whole of the vitamin and gain the full benefit of the synergistic qualities contained within the complete nutrient complex; an example of this would be ascorbic acid instead of vitamin C. Only whole food ingredients can provide you with all the nutrients contained within the food.
According to the FDA, food values have dropped significantly in the last decades. Even with a healthy, organic, balanced diet it is quite difficult to access all nutrients necessary for deep health. Whether your goal is to attain vibrant health, lose weight, or avoid pharmaceutical intervention in a myriad of health challenges, there is hope. Our goal is to help the body heal itself, not mask symptoms.
