Traditional Chinese Medicine
"The time-tested Eastern perspectives on health is a powerful addition to any health regime."
-Dr. Tamara Kung, ND
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is the standardized practice of ancient Chinese medicine, with the understanding that the human body and mind work connectedly through distinguished and unique patterns.
Dr. Kung, ND helps discover her patient’s individual patterns by collecting specific information about each person. It’s the Important details which are key in seeing the bigger picture.
TCM rebalances and corrects any misaligned patterns by addressing the underlying causes to what may seem like a constellation of scattered symptoms such as:
- Chronic pain
- Headaches
- Insomnia
- Anxiety
- Digestive issues
- Painful periods
- Menopausal hot flashes
TCM methods used by Dr. Kung, ND for rebalancing the body and mind include:
- Acupuncture - activates specific points to improve the flow of blood and energy (Qi).
- Cupping - a form of inverted massage, which lifts the layers of muscle, facia and skin to reduce painful adhesions, and cellulite.
- Moxibustion - burning of the mugwort root to warm and invigorate the blood, improve the flow of Qi, and dissolves stagnation.
- Nutrition - foods and herbs are the foundation that maximizes the efficacy of the above methods.
