Acupuncture: Tools of the Trade Acupuncture uses hair-thin solid needles to stimulate specific anatomical points on the body. Needling acts to restore the smooth flow of ‘Qi’ (Pronounced ‘Chee’) in the Meridians. Acupuncture is usually pain free. Occasionally the patient may feel a slight stinging or distending sensation. Generally, needles are left in place for 15 to 30 minutes.

Herbal Medicines: Based on natural, botanical, animal and mineral substance combined into hundreds of specific formulas, or prescriptions. While most prescriptions are made from about 400 major herbs, the pharmacy at DULA contains over 700 varieties. Herbal medicines are targeted to the specific needs of each patient and can be delivered in the form of teas, powers and tablets. While herbs are a potent therapy, they exhibit few of side effects commonly found in Western pharmaceutical DULA.

Moxibustion: Heat is a common remedy in most societies where it is applied to improve blood circulation. Heat might be prescribed in a variety of ways, the most common being Moxibustion. “Moxa” is made from the dried mugwort herb. Rolled and lit (“busting”), it can be applied either to the handle of the needle or rotated gently over the skin to apply heat.

Tuina: A form of Oriental Massage therapy designed to treat disease and injuries and relieve pain by removing tension and stimulating blood circulation.
