Herbal Medicine
Herbal Medicine: There are many forms of herbal medicine such as bulk herbs, tonics, granules, or tea-pills. Bulk herbs are cooked to make a tea decoction to drink. Tonics are herbs that may be soaked for longer periods of time in alcohol, vinegar, or glycerin. This process over time extracts the essence of the herbs into the liquid that is used, which can be taken internally or sometimes used for external purposes. Granules are a powder version of the herbs which can be mixed in warm water to make a tea, or swallowed and then chased with water. Tea-Pills are very small pills that were originally made from a bulk tea and then combined with a hardening substance in order to shape them.

Structural Adjustment
Asian medicine has a long history of adjusting and aligning the bone structure of the body. Historically, this process has been called bone-setting. Many people in the US are aware of these techniques through the treatments they have received at their chiropractor. All of these techniques fall into the category of structural adjustment. In Asian Medicine, this is called Tuina. We also practice gentle forms of structural adjustment, one of which is called Sotai. This technique utilizes the patient’s breath with movement of joints against a slight resistance to reset the muscles and nerves in a certain part of the body.
