Acupuncture
Acupuncture is part of an
ancient Chinese system of natural medicine, known as Traditional Chinese Medicine,
or TCM. TCM is the world’s oldest continually practiced professional medicine,
and is based upon the principle that any symptom that manifests in the body is
related to a larger overall pattern of disharmony. This pattern is the result
of an imbalance of the body’s organic, energetic, and natural activity, which
can be due to stress, diet, excessive physical activity, environmental
influences, or constitutional deficiencies, to name a few. Acupuncture
treatments address both the body and mind, as the emotions directly affect the
physical symptoms that manifest in the body. Hundreds of acupuncture points are
located on the body along energy pathways known as meridians or channels, which
correspond directly to a specific vital organ. When any of these acupuncture
points are blocked or congested, the result is an “imbalance” or “disease”.
Acupuncture works by opening up the flow of vital energy or Qi, also known as
“Chi”, thereby restoring health to the body. When the Qi is flowing properly
through the meridian pathways, all of the body’s systems operate in a rhythmic
and harmonious way. Mary uses a combination of Classical Chinese Acupuncture,
and Meridian Acupuncture Trigger Point Release Therapy. Initial consultation
for an acupuncture treatment requires up to an hour and one half of time during
which a patient is thoroughly evaluated and a complete medical history is
taken. The patient is examined, the pulses are taken and the tongue is
observed. During an acupuncture treatment, fine, sterile, disposable needles
are inserted into specific acupuncture points to stimulate the energy that is
either blocked or congested. The goal of this process is the activation of the
patient’s Qi, which allows the body to balance and heal itself. Each follow-up
treatment lasts between 45 minutes to one hour.
Chinese
Herbology
Herbal Medicine is another modality or treatment method within TCM. During an
herbal consultation, the patient is evaluated for individual patterns of
disharmony as well as disease manifestation and then receives a customized
herbal formula designed to treat both the symptoms and the disease. The formula
can be written for raw, liquid, or encapsulated herbs. Mary maintains an
extensive liquid herbal pharmacy at Healing Hands.

Esogetic
Colorpuncture™
Esogetic
Colorpuncture™ is a unique system of healing the body by focusing colored light
on acupuncture and other points on the skin to energize powerful healing
impulses in our physical and energetic bodies. Colorpuncture addresses the
non-physical or emotional origins of illness as well as its physical symptoms
by using fast-moving light rays to unblock and release emotional trauma and
blocked soul information, which often underlies illness. Patients report not
only changes in their symptoms, but also deeply improved emotional outlook and
a clearer sense of life direction. Specific treatments can be focused on
detoxification, dream zone therapy, mother/father issues, and prenatal
therapies, to name a few. Esogetic Sound therapy tapes can also be used in
conjunction with specific treatments or as an adjunctive therapy.

Kirlian
Photography or Energy Emission Analysis (EEA)
Kirlian Photography is a means of determining energy patterns and disturbances around the acupuncture meridians. The photos are used in Esogetic Colorpuncture™ as the primary diagnostic tool for sensing energetic disturbances that can produce physical and emotional symptoms. Disease manifestations can be recognized up to one year before they actually manifest in the body. A high voltage charge applied across a dielectric plate captures the energetic imprint of the fingers and toes, where the acupuncture meridians begin. The information obtained from these photos can be used to formulate treatment plans for many modalities, including Acupuncture & Chinese Herbology, Psychotherapy and Allopathic medicine, to name a few.

Flower Essences
Flower Essences are subtle liquid extracts made from the petals of flowers,
generally taken in oral form, which are used to address profound issues of
emotional well-being, spiritual development, and mind-body health. Each flower
addresses a different aspect of the human psyche, including fear, anger, and
grief. Essences work due to the energetic life forces derived from the flowers
that mirror the human personality. Like homeopathics, flower essences are
vibrational in nature. Flower Essences work through the various human energy
fields, which in turn affect mental, emotional and physical well being.
