Welcome
Avery Yackel practices Traditional Oriental Medicine, including acupuncture, moxibustion, and shiatsu massage in both White Rock & Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.What is Traditional Oriental Medicine?
- a 2,000+ year old system of medicine which first developed in China and later spread to other parts of Asia, especially Japan, where it was further refined
- has a long history of providing natural, safe, and effective ways of promoting healing
- incorporates many methods of treatment, including acupuncture, moxibustion, massage, herbs, and diet
By leading a person back towards a state of balance, health and vitality is increased
What conditions does Traditional Oriental Medicine treat?
- disease, like health, is viewed as the sum total of our being - our general body constitution, diet, environment, lifestyle, thoughts, emotions, choices and events throughout life
- all of these factors can cause balance or imbalance to our lives and as a result influence to what degree of health or sickness we may be experiencing
- for this reason, it is often said that Traditional Oriental Medicine treats people, not diseases
Keeping this concept in mind, Traditional Oriental Medicine has been shown to be effective for many conditions, including:
- pain (back pain, sciatica, whiplash injury, joint pain, headaches)
- digestive problems (irritable bowel, acid reflux, bloating, constipation, diarrhea)
- women's health (menopausal symptoms, irregular periods, PMS, endometriosis, infertility)
- children's health (digestion, allergies, asthma, weak constitution, hyperactivity)
- insomnia, stress, anxiety, depression
- chronic fatigue, low energy, weak immune system
- preventive health maintenance
- and much more...
Because disease is seen as a result of imbalance in our life, treatment is aimed at leading a person back towards a state of balance. As a result, health and vitality is increased, helping to promote the body's amazing capacity to heal itself.
