Acupuncture uses hair-thin sterile needles to stimulate specific anatomical points on the body. Needling acts to restore the smooth flow of ‘Qi’ (Pronounced ‘Chee’) in the Meridians. Acupuncture is usually pain free. Occasionally the patient may feel a slight stinging or distending sensation. Generally, needles are left in place for 15 to 30 minutes.
Based on natural, botanical, animal and mineral substance combined into hundreds of specific formulas, or prescriptions. While most prescriptions are made from about 400 major herbs, the pharmacy at DULA contains over 700 varieties. Herbal medicines are targeted to the specific needs of each patient and can be delivered in the form of teas, powders and tablets. While herbs are a potent therapy, they exhibit few of side effects commonly found in Western pharmaceutical DULA.
A form of Oriental Massage therapy designed to treat disease and injuries and relieve pain by removing tension and stimulating blood circulation.
Heat might be prescribed to improve blood circulation, the most common being Moxibustion. “Moxa” is made from the dried mugwort herb. Rolled and lit (“burning”), it can be applied indirectly either to the handle of the needle or rotated gently over the skin to apply heat.
Cupping uses localized suction to draw up tissues bringing blood to the localized area. By doing so, cupping opens up the circulatory and lymphatic systems improving qi and blood flow to relieve sore muscles, tension, neck, shoulder and back pain.
There is an extra charge if additional modalities (cupping, electroacupuncture, etc.) are needed.

The initial treatment usually lasts about 1.5 hours. During your first visit, a detailed medical history will be taken to gain a thorough understanding of your main complaint and your general health and lifestyle. This involves asking questions about your current symptoms, as well as such things as your sleeping pattern, your appetite and digestion, and your emotional wellbeing. Women are also asked about their menstrual cycle and any past pregnancies and childbirth. The intern and practitioner will also take your pulse and examine your tongue and feel for areas of muscular tension or pain.
