Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners use acupuncture, herbs, food therapies (diet), Tai Chi exercise and meditation to restore balance to this system so your body can have the best expression of health. With over 3000 years of history, the Chinese medical system is the longest existing medical system practiced in the world.
