Why choose oriental medicine? 

Many people prefer oriental medicine because it focuses on treating the root cause of health issues rather than just the symptoms. Additionally, Oriental medicine emphasizes the balance of energy flow within the body, aiming to restore harmony and promote overall well-being. Many individuals appreciate the personalized approach and natural remedies offered by oriental medicine, as well as its long history of use in promoting health and healing.

What can I expect from an oriental medicine consultation?

Your initial consultation with Dr. Holly focuses on discussing your medical history, current conditions, lifestyle, and wellness goals. Gathering this information allows Dr. Holly to gain a comprehensive understanding of your unique health profile. 

During the consultation, you can expect thoughtful discussions about your symptoms, physical and emotional well-being, and underlying imbalances. Dr. Holly may ask about your dietary habits, stress levels, and sleep patterns to form a holistic view of your health. Once Dr. Holly has the information she needs, she creates an oriental medicine plan tailored to your wellness goals.

What does oriental medicine include?

Dr. Holly offers several oriental medicine treatments at Natural Healthcare Partners, including the following:

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a technique where Dr. Holly inserts thin, sterile needles into specific points on your body. This traditional Chinese medicine practice stimulates your body's natural healing processes. It can be beneficial for managing various health concerns, including pain, illness, stress, and overall well-being.

Herbology

Also known as herbal medicine, Herbology is beneficial to the human body in various ways. Herbal remedies have been used for centuries to treat a wide range of health conditions and promote overall well-being. Many herbs contain natural compounds that have medicinal properties, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects. Herbal medicine can help support the immune system, improve digestion, and alleviate symptoms of common ailments like pain, colds, headaches, and digestive issues. Additionally, herbs can be used to manage chronic conditions such as arthritis, insomnia, and anxiety. Herbology can be a safe and effective complement to conventional medical treatments. Dr. Holly incorporates herbs into personalized patient plans to address specific health concerns, providing a natural and holistic approach to enhance overall well-being.

Breath and movement exercises

With breath and movement exercises, Dr. Holly focuses on cultivating balance and flexibility in your body's energy flow. These practices help improve physical health by increasing flexibility, strength, and balance. They also promote relaxation and reduce stress through controlled breathing techniques, which can lower blood pressure and heart rate. Additionally, breath and movement exercises enhance mental well-being by improving focus, concentration, and mindfulness. Regular practice of these exercises can boost overall energy levels, promote better sleep, and contribute to a sense of inner peace and emotional stability.

Nutritional therapy

Personalized nutritional guidance from Dr. Nobil optimizes your diet. A balanced and nutrient-rich diet plays a crucial role in supporting overall health and well-being. Nutritional therapy focuses on using food as medicine to prevent and manage various health conditions. By providing the body with essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, nutritional therapy can help boost the immune system, improve energy levels, and support optimal organ function. Proper nutrition can also aid in weight management, reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes, and promote healthy aging. By making informed food choices and adopting healthy eating habits, individuals can enhance their quality of life and achieve long-term wellness. Dr. Nobil considers your individual needs, health concerns, and wellness goals when recommending dietary changes, creating a tailored plan that aligns with your specific preferences and lifestyle.

Cupping therapy

Cupping therapy is a traditional healing practice that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This therapy promotes blood flow, reduces inflammation, and improves overall circulation. Dr. Holly uses cupping therapy to help relieve muscle tension, promote relaxation, and alleviate pain in various parts of the body. The suction created by the cups can help release toxins and stimulate the lymphatic system, which may aid in detoxification and immune system support. Some people also find cupping therapy beneficial for respiratory issues, such as coughs and asthma, as well as for promoting general well-being and relaxation.
