Acupuncture is thousands of years old.  It is the oldest form of continuously practiced medicine in the world.  It was originally believed to have originated 3,000 years ago in China.  Recently, scientist have questioned whether the ash tatoos on Otzi, the 5,000 year old man found in Europe were left from needling acupuncture points.  The markings correspond to points related to back problems and digestive problems.  Otzi is known to have suffered degenerative arthritis in his spine and he also had parasites in his gut.  Discover magazine also states that he carried herbs that were effective against his particular parasites.

In any case, acupuncture and herbs originated from people who were in tune with their bodies and the natural world.  They have been time tested.  They have minimal side effects.  Modern medicine is an aggressive medicine.  We fight disease, we wage war on cancer, etc.  Aggressive medicine is particularily effective against emergencies, acute problems and virulent disease.  Being hit by a car, having a heart attack these are the things modern medicine specializes in.  With chronic illness, the side effects of modern medicine can sometimes outweigh the benefits.  This becomes even more of an issue with modern medicine's focus on symptoms, which may mean taking medication indefinitely.

We have tried to provide a center that gives some alternatives for people in search of well being.
