American Ginseng

American ginseng is the Yin that complements the Asian ginseng Yang.

The American ginseng plant has green leaves that grow in a circular formation, with large yellow flowers. It is similar to to Asian ginseng in appearance. In Chinese Medicine American ginseng is associated with tranquil Yin energy. It has a milder qi boosting effect and is suitable for all ages. American ginseng  is used primarily for clearing the body's inner heat and tonifying the qi. The body accumulates inner heat when we consume too much fried or spicy foods or from lack of sleep. It has been used to reduce blood sugar levels, to treat colds, anemia, insomnia, stress and fevers, and strengthens the immune system and improves circulation. American ginseng works on the spleen and lungs and generates body fluids.

What is Acupuncture.

The intent of acupuncture therapy is to promote health and alleviate pain and suffering. An acupuncturist views health and sickness as concepts of "vital energy," "energetic balance" and "energetic imbalance." The acupuncturist assesses the flow and distribution of this "vital energy" within its pathways, known as "meridians and channels".  The acupuncturist is able to influence health by stimulating key areas along these "meridians" called "acupoints", with fine, slender needles.  The procedure adjusts the "vital energy" so the proper amount of energy reaches the proper place at the proper time. This helps your body heal itself.

Acupuncture is just one form of therapy used within a coherent system of healing known as Oriental Medicine which includes herbology, physical therapy, dietetics and special exercises (such as Tai Chi and Qi Gong).   This is a complete medical system unto itself.  Acupuncture evolved from principles and philosophies unique to Oriental thinking and Oriental Medicine over thousands of years.
