Description

The ancient Chinese believed that there is a universal life energy called Chi or Qi present in every living creature. This energy is said to circulate throughout the body along specific pathways that are called meridians. As long as this energy flows freely throughout the meridians, health is maintained, but once the flow of energy is blocked, the system is disrupted and pain and illness occur. Imagine rivers that flood and cause disasters or an electrical grid short-circuiting that causes blackouts. Acupuncture works to "re-program" and restore normal functions by stimulating certain points on the meridians in order to free up the Chi energy. Acupuncture is common place in the eastern hemisphere, having been practiced and perfected for over 3000 years. It was first introduced into Europe in the 17th Century. It's widespread uses include but certainly aren't limited to: pain management, weight loss, smoking cessation, infertility, PMS/menopause, respiratory disorders (asthma, bronchitis). It has been estimated that we have lost over 2/3 of the nutritional value of our food since the 1930s. We live in a highly toxic environment filled with highly processed foods, fast food restaurants and the effects of modern farming and livestock trends (pesticides, antibiotics, and hormones). For those that understand these factors and wish to optimize their present health and future desire for disease prevention, Dr. Bernstein offers nutritional counseling and products as well as natural medicines (nutriceuticals) from both the Western and Eastern hemispheres.
