Acupuncture is an important component of traditional Chinese medicine used in the prevention and treatment of disease.  It is the procedure of inserting sterilized, single-use, filiform needles in certain points of the body to alleviate pain, improve the flow of blood and qi, promote healing and treat disease. Each Acupuncture point has specific functions through their channels and collaterals throughout the body. The physician selects the most effective points according to the patients’ condition to improve their various maladies.

Herbal Medicine is a very genuine and unique part of oriental medicine using hundreds of natural herbs and is customized to each patient to treat their diseases. These all natural remedies account for a majority of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).  Marpe Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine uses only the finest quality herbs from internationally trusted and respected sources.

Auricular acupuncture, also known as ear acupuncture or auriculotherapy is acupuncture performed to the outer ear where there are acupuncture points that correlate with all parts of the body to enhance treatments and also for drug and alcohol addiction.  (The US Military medical providers and field medics are trained in auricular acupuncture predominately to reduce pain.)

Moxibustion, or Moxa, is the application of indirect heat supplied by burning the herb Folium Artemisia Vulgaris (commonly known as mugwort, or Ai Ye in Chinese) over a single acupuncture point or a group of points is to stimulate qi and blood flow, reduce inflammation and promote general health. Moxibustion is typically used on people with stagnation and cold conditions. This generally produces relaxation and used as a powerful treatment method for many different types of disease.

Cupping has been used for thousands of years by Asian, Middle Eastern, and Egyptian cultures and people worldwide have been adopting it more and more.  Cupping is placing cups with heated air inside on affected locations and as the air cools a vacuum is formed drawing the skin into the cup. This draws fluid into the area and stimulates blood and qi flow. Often circular discolored rings are left that can take a few days to disappear. Cupping is used to reduce pain, stagnation and injuries, improve immune function, and stimulate detoxification.

Electro-acupuncture is traditional acupuncture utilizing a low electrical current being passed through pairs of needles to enhance results.

Extra fine needles are gently placed in needed areas of the face to stimulate blood flow and the natural production of collagen and elastin. This improves the skins elasticity, tightens the pores, and reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and inflammation. Distal points throughout the body are also used.  Cosmetic Acupuncture helps nourish, firm, and moisturize the skin, as well as reduce acne and puffiness.  Each acupuncture is followed by an herbal mask to further enhance, nourish the skin, and reduce wrinkles.
