Like vitamins or food supplements, they maintain our health and treat acute and chronic ailments. An herbal prescription consists of many herbs tailored for the unique needs of each patient. The beauty of Chinese medicine is that it can correct a person’s individual pattern of disharmony, the whole person is treated at once. Chinese medicinals have been used for centuries and are gentle, safe, and effective. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1653362112736-NZHMK7QSUDS682HQ0R2D/unsplash-image-iSGbjKZ9erg.jpg Herbal Medicine - powerful and safe Pharmaceutical drugs isolate a single ingredient to produce a specific physiologic effect. They are potent, often have side effects, and generally do not address the underlying cause of an illness. For example, antibiotics eliminate bacteria but do not increase a person’s resistance to being infected again. They do not strengthen the immune system. Chinese medicinal ingredients are enfolded within the whole plant and blended with other balancing herbs. This helps to buffer their side effects. Chinese herbal prescriptions are so effective because they are able to strengthen the whole system as well as fight an isolated disease mechanism. Chinese herbs are a powerful enhancement to your acupuncture treatment. Your recovery process will often be greatly hastened when combining acupuncture with Chinese herbal therapy. https://www.marbleheadacupuncture.com/home daily 1.0 2022-12-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1653422485442-HYZRMMWTORMOLJCSZZX4/unsplash-image-5NLCaz2wJXE.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1653017912607-1OPUU9L0ADRRYYT869I9/unsplash-image-aK4iPNYipnU.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1653616005033-ZK7RSZO4RUNL39KENWY0/unsplash-image-wqcQ6ODwPxU.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/ecfe7d70-2b6e-4339-b937-b0b5e0863fa3/IMG_2197+2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1653359477858-XNVNS5255FQCZTMVDV1Z/unsplash-image-HKQVX9_JupM.jpg Home https://www.marbleheadacupuncture.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2024-06-18 https://www.marbleheadacupuncture.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1cd49e53-d992-45e7-867c-b8b582ff5540/acupuncture+6.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/b3a2f2ea-c4da-4aab-b084-9dcf9ecdc6ce/IMG_9909.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/88b74002-15ba-4986-8d1a-8b5fe99bfc35/acupuncture+7.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/3823298f-64a0-4459-a108-94b8669fa178/IMG_9908.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/4ffd4af4-8e54-4fbd-bc77-6eb8a43bd4dd/acupuncture+office+3.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/b0d2756a-a6f1-46da-8bb6-18cb1eee8fcb/IMG_3687.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/f0352a86-5b15-4cd6-8376-743654ee606e/IMG_3681.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/8f7bac5c-e154-4b37-b007-01739f624268/IMG_3680.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1720710466852-W7CZ003D8OL6C5AHU2BH/image-asset.jpeg https://www.marbleheadacupuncture.com/about-2 daily 0.75 2026-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1653057872801-QQ9QYD51SNAB834R5T1C/IMG_2197+2.jpeg About https://www.marbleheadacupuncture.com/frequently-asked-questions daily 0.75 2024-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Frequently Asked Questions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Frequently Asked Questions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Frequently Asked Questions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607628784608-5D22G9GPLHDSAB2IXC2G/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0638.jpg Frequently Asked Questions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/b343f06a-f7f8-4a37-8c01-1e2795af70f3/greenac+copy.jpg Frequently Asked Questions - ACUPUNCTURE Acupuncture consists of the gentle insertion and stimulation of disposable, sterile needles at strategic points on the body.

Moxibustion heat therapy has been used throughout Asia for thousands of years; in fact, the actual Chinese character for acupuncture, translated literally, means “acupuncture-moxibustion.” Mugwort is chosen for it’s warming properties and yang nature. The purpose of moxibustion is to improve circulation, stimulate the flow of qi, restore primary yang energy by warming qi and blood, and maintain general health. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/f0aa9963-87ce-4fe0-9fb2-411efd4a7a79/iStock_000019080264Small.jpg Cuppjng & Additional Therapies - Cupping Cupping is one of the oldest methods of traditional Chinese medicine. The earliest recorded use of cupping dates to the early fourth century. In a typical cupping session, a vacuum is created and glass cups are placed over a specific area. Cupping stimulates the flow of blood, balances and realigns the flow of qi, breaks up obstructions, and creates an avenue for toxins to be drawn out of the body. Depending on the condition being treated, the cups will be left in place from 5 to 10 minutes. Several cups may be placed on a patient’s body at the same time. Sometimes herbal oils are applied to the skin just before the cupping procedure, which allows movement of the cups up and down particular acupoints or meridians. Cupping is used primarily to treat respiratory conditions such as bronchitis, asthma, and congestion; arthritis; gastrointestinal disorders; and pain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/daa3b086-3924-4395-918c-92de13ee6876/guasha.jpg Cuppjng & Additional Therapies - gua sha Like most of the techniques used in Chinese Medicine, Gua Sha has been used for thousands of years. Gua Sha, also known as “scraping therapy,” is a technique that involves repeated firm strokes over oiled skin with a special tool. The Gua Sha tool is fashioned out of ceramic, jade, or buffalo horn. During Gua Sha therapy, the surface of the skin is scraped along the meridian pathways to move qi and blood, remove toxins and blockages, promote healing, and eliminate pain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1653357138245-IS2V4KUGYY3FKE76OC9U/unsplash-image-hBLf2nvp-Yc.jpg Cuppjng & Additional Therapies - massage Massage is a very relaxing and enjoyable therapeutic modality. Much like the other adjunctive techniques, massage is used to remove blockages, promote circulation, harmonize qi flow, deeply relax the mind/body, and allow the body to heal itself. https://www.marbleheadacupuncture.com/fertility-support daily 0.75 2024-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Fertility Support https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Fertility Support https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Fertility Support https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1653335776880-1U4KNYRVBF3LNIFO5VLO/iStock_000006209247Small.jpg Fertility Support https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1653335854461-EE2UL5U2XY2X2S0HTMDR/Herb-Bowl.jpg Fertility Support https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1653335882468-Q9GA16SLZO458KIHPFE3/herbs55.jpg Fertility Support https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1653335957057-BGMBC26KMHX85SQK0AGU/apples.jpg Fertility Support https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1653336000119-LVT7MDVGGOCZNGFHMXK4/iStock_000014433320Small+copy+12.30.41+PM.jpg Fertility Support https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1653336020705-QW3PMVOZ7F6XO465K28H/holistic-massages.jpg Fertility Support https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1653359810881-8RKOVOYKORCUX37CABRW/collard-raindrops-6122.jpg Fertility Support https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1653616226425-7GC81HW2HDU8VR3CY67N/unsplash-image-rOn57CBgyMo.jpg Fertility Support https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1653159526416-OARJ9XFL7FTY6KYHTH2R/unsplash-image-OBok3F8buKY.jpg Fertility Support - PREPARE FOR PREGNANCY NOURISH THE SOIL BEFORE PLANTING THE SEED. https://www.marbleheadacupuncture.com/pregnancy-support daily 0.75 2024-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/1653360628879-MUJBR64VAYD6VSVOZ62P/unsplash-image-NJYU0dPnCXo.jpg Pregnancy Support - Acupuncture for Postpartum Stress Depression & Anxiety Postpartum Weight Loss Lactation Problems https://www.marbleheadacupuncture.com/success-stories daily 0.75 2024-05-30 https://www.marbleheadacupuncture.com/supplements daily 0.75 2024-05-30 https://www.marbleheadacupuncture.com/acupuncture daily 0.75 2024-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628676f0dd98080208dd2ad2/90765fa3-93ba-40e9-b3ac-be9afcaf3361/needles-in-bowl.jpg Acupuncture ACUPUNCTURE Acupuncture consists of the gentle insertion and stimulation of disposable, sterile needles at strategic points on the body.
