As part of our Integrative Medicine Team at Nano Health Associates over Acupuncture, which is among the oldest healing practices in the world. As part of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture aims to restore and maintain health through the stimulation of specific points on the body

 

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a type of holistic, natural health care system that dates back over 2,500 years and includes natural treatments such as acupuncture, herbal remedies, dietary advice, stress/emotional support, exercise including tai chi and qi gong and treatments such as cupping and moxibustion.

​

TCM is “holistic” and “natural” because it stimulates the body’s own healing mechanisms and takes into account all aspects of a patient’s life, with an aim to correct imbalances in the body and primarily work in three major ways:

​

• Addressing a patient’s external factors and environment

• Helping patients relate to their internal emotions in a healthier way, including managing stress

• Improving someone’s lifestyle factors, including diet and exercise routine
