TREATMENT:
A private treatment with constitutional acupuncture and facial acupuncture, five different Chinese organic herbal facial products from Mary Elizabeth Wakefield’s Chi-akra product line, diet & lifestyle therapy, and herbal consult if needed and interested. The initial appointment is 2 hours and subsequent treatments are 1.5 hours each. The needles are retained for 20-40 minutes depending on the person. The amount of needles and total treatments needed varies from patient to patient but is more than a regular acupuncture treatment. This is why the patient must be strong and in good health to do the series. They are done in a series of 10-15 treatments, once to twice a week. Smokers and “saggers” may need 20 treatments. The effects last for 2- 3 years with regular maintenance treatments monthly or seasonally. The more the patient is compliant, the more effective and longer-lasting the results are. Compliance is the key to maximize success.

TREATMENT:
Community style acupuncture is done in a group setting in a comfortable reclining chair. Needles are retained for up to 50 minutes. The patient tells the acupuncturist when they are done. Some prefer the energy of receiving treatment in a group. This allows for more people to afford more treatments. The time and space do not allow for long intakes. Serious and complicated conditions may be referred to private treatment or other modalities. Join us at the Wellness Clinic to experience this type of treatment.
