• Chinese Herbal Medicine is as ancient as acupuncture and is a major aspect of traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture treatments are best combined with Chinese herbs. Herbs enhance and augment the therapeutic effects of an acupuncture treatment. They are something you can take at home to support your healing between acupuncture treatments. Of course, herbs can be prescribed and taken on their own without having to have acupuncture treatments.
  
  Herbs are used especially to strengthen and build the body's constitution in deficient, weakened conditions. In addition, they also have many other actions on the body, such as helping to quickly fight a cold or stop bleeding, eliminate abdominal bloating or relieving constipation, as a few examples.
  
  There are thousands of herbs in the Chinese pharmacopia, consisting of plants, minerals and animal products. Chinese herbs are usually combined into formulas containing anywhere from 3 to 20 herbs. These combinations are designed to augment the actions or to ameliorate adverse effects of certain herbs in the formula.

• Oriental Massage or Tui Na is an Oriental Bodywork Therapy that has been used in China for 2,000 years. Tuina (Tui Na) uses the traditional Chinese medical theory of the flow of Qi through the meridians as its basic therapeutic orientation. Through the application of massage and manipulation techniques Tuina (Tui Na) seeks to establish a more harmonious flow of Qi through the system of channels and collaterals, allowing the body the naturally heal itself.

  Tuina (Tui Na) methods include the use of hand techniques to massage the soft tissue (muscles and tendons) of the body, acupressure techniques to directly affect the flow of Qi , and manipulation techniques to realign the musculoskeletal and ligamentous relationships (bone-setting). External herbal poultices, compresses, liniments, and salves are also used to enhance the other therapeutic methods.

• Detoxification Protocols at the Bo Clinic are tailored to the individual needs of each patient. We offer 10 day and 30 day detoxification programs, customized just for you! Call to set up a free consultation.

  The goal of our detoxification program is to aid the removal of toxins that may have been stored in the colon, or other parts of the body while easing the physical and emotional addictions to foods we eat daily.

  There are many reasons for detoxification. Our GI tracts are being exposed to great many endotoxins which are constantly made in the body. In addition to these toxins, our food, air and water are also a source of great many contaminants. These toxins accumulate in many tissues throughout the body. The following is a partial list of indications for our detoxification program:

  • Allergies
  • Arthritis
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Heavy metal accumulation
  • Gastrointestinal problems
  • Cancer
  • Chronic constipation
  • Skin problems
  • Chronic Fatique Syndrome
  • Yeast Infections
  • Obesity
  • Food Addictions
  • Depression and/or Anxiety

• Auricular Acupuncture is one of the more widely used microsystems within eastern medicine. At the Bo Clinic, we may use auricular acupuncture as a primary mode of treatment or in conjunction with other treatments such as acupuncture, bodywork or herbal medicine.

  As with all forms of acupuncture, the acupuncture points found in the outer ear correspond to other locations in the body. By stimulating these points the acupuncture needle sends electrical impulse messages to the brain, which are then thought to stimulate other areas of the body. In this way, auricular acupuncture can relieve pain in the joints and muscles, stimulate the organs and the brain itself, and achieve a number of other therapeutic effects for the patient.

  In the more westernized style of auricular acupuncture, one particularly interesting tool has come into use. This is the electro acupunctoscope, an electric tool used by the acupuncturist to both locate and stimulate acupoints on the outer ear. With this tool, also used in whole-body acupuncture, the acupuncturist stimulates acupoints through what is known as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). The acupunctoscope replaces the use of inserted needles with electrical impulses, and is thought to be equally effective.

  Auricular acupuncture is thought to be effective in treating mental/emotional disturbances including anxiety, depression, and insomnia. It is also used to treat physical pain such as arthritis, back pain, migraine, headache, tendonitis, and sciatic pain. Through stimulation of corresponding points in the brain and body, auricular acupuncture is also used as a therapy to treat digestive problems such as colitis and indigestion, as well as respiratory and sinus problems like asthma, hay fever and sinusitis. The therapy may also be used to treat obesity, pre-menstrual syndrome, and addiction to drugs, alcohol and cigarettes.
