What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a comprehensive medical art practiced for over 5000 years. At its core, its goal is to maintain the balance of "Qi” (energy) in the body and restore harmony among all the systems of the body. TCM emphasizes a holistic approach to treatment whereby the whole person is considered: aches, pains, feelings, fears, thoughts, and all. Wherever there is stagnation or discord in the mind, spirit, or body, there is a need for healing.
Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on preventive health maintenance as well as the treatment of a variety of ailments through natural and holistic means. TCM treatment modalities offered at Arogya include Acupuncture, herbal remedies and supplements, Cupping, Moxibustion, Acupressure, Tui Na bodywork, and Qigong.

Cupping Therapy
Cupping is a deep-tissue healing method often used in traditional Chinese medicine. Cups are placed in strategic locations, often on specific acupuncture points, or directly on or around the site of pain. Cupping can help relieve muscle spasms and tension, as well as promote Qi and blood circulation and healing. This powerful tool has many applications including detoxification, inflammation, sports injury, headaches and more.

Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the burning of the herb moxa, or mugwort, to help move stagnant energy and increase circulation and lymphatic flow. This type of heat therapy can be an excellent remedy for people who have aches and pains caused by injury and arthritis.
Moxibustion is often used concurrently with acupuncture and cupping. During a healing session with Acupuncturist Gregor Bertram, he may use a technique called “Indirect Moxibustion,” where a cigar-shaped tube of moxa is lit and burned close to the acupuncture meridian.

Tuina & Acupressure
According to Chinese Medicine, there are energy channels throughout the body called meridians. Pressure is applied along these specific pathways, thereby increasing the functionality and circulation of the entire body. When these energies are in balance and blood circulation flows smoothly, health is restored. Tuina and Acupressure massage are helpful for relieving pain, stress, and tension, and improving the circulation of blood and Qi.
Acupressure treatments at Arogya can be combined with reflexology and aromatherapy for a session that relaxes and reboots your entire system.

Wellness Consultation & QiGong Therapy
We use Five-Element Theory to determine the strategy for balancing one’s Qi, working to bring Yin and Yang into equilibrium. When these energies are in balance and blood circulation flows smoothly, health is restored.
We navigate the cause of illness and imbalances using classical Chinese diagnostic methods, including observing the pulse and tongue and palpating the organs. We can help to restore health and balance to the body using modalities such as acupressure, qigong, reflexology, aromatherapy, herbal supplements, and lifestyle recommendations.
60 min $250*
*Please Note: The consultation fee does not include the cost of herbal formulas or supplements.
