Glossary of services: (special thanks to wikipedia ;) )

Acupuncture
Insertion of prepackaged sterilized needles at specific points for the purpose of treating various disorders by stimulating nerve impulses and increasing and strengthening the flow of Qi (energy). Acupuncture promotes the body’s natural healing energy and improves functioning of the muscles and organs.

Chinese Herbs

Chinese herbs are prescribed based on the diagnosis and thus reflect the state of balance of the whole person; therefore, herbal remedies are formulated in correspondence to this balanced state of being. Herbs complimentary to Acupuncture, are effective in facilitating the flow of Qi by removing blockages in the meridians, nourishing and harmonizing organ functions.

Cupping

Using glass or bamboo cups suctions to the body, the process of cupping is used to bring pathogens, toxins and stagnation to the surface in order for it to be released from the body. This is a very effective treatment for muscle-skeletal disorders.

Holistic Nutritional Therapy

Holistic nutrition focuses on a natural approach to a healthy diet. A holistic nutritionist attempts to bring balance to all areas of the person's life by looking at the persons dietary intake, supplements and lifestyle.

Homeopathy

Founded in the late eighteenth century, the system is based on the idea that substances that produce symptoms of sickness in healthy people will have a curative effect when given in very dilute quantities to sick people who exhibit those same symptoms. Homeopathic remedies are believed to stimulate the body's own healing processes. This principle is similar to the concept behind exposure therapy for allergies, but the amounts of active medication used in homeopathy are so small as to be almost undetectable.

The science that specializes in relations between disease and the shape, color, and other individual characteristics of the iris.

Reflexology

An integrated method of treatment involving the physical act of applying pressure to the feet and hands with specific thumb, finger and hand techniques. It is based on the system of zones and reflex areas that they say reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands, with the premise that such work effects a physical change to the body.
