Acuromatherapy
A 3 Treasures Signature Treatment that will take you to the peak of relaxation. First you recieve a Raindrop Therapy treatment, using a series of Young Living Essential Oils. This combines light massage and Tuina (Chinese invigorating massage techniques.) Acupressure along the meridians of the back balances all the organs in the body to promote healing, better sleep, digestion, and of course, relaxation. You then lie under heat packs, which allows the oils to infuse into your pores even deeper, for detoxifying and therapeutic effects. We follow up with your individual acupuncture session, leaving you feeling refreshed and balanced.
The 5 Elements of Acuromatherapy
Earth: Grouding oils (Valor)
Metal: Needles
Water: Raindrop Oils
Wood: Plants for oils
Fire: Cupping/ heat packs
Auricular Treatment
The ear is a hologram, an entity that reflects the whole. Your ear is covered with points that coincide with all parts of your body. By stimulating these points, we can effectively treat whatever ails you. Sometimes I use the tiniest and finest of needles, and, for the needle-phobes, I can simply place seeds attached with adhesive into your ears. That means pain-free! Yes, there is a treatment for those who refuse to have needles.
For years I refuted this tool, until I studied with Li-Chun Huang, the premier expert in auriculartherapy. With such amazing results, I was astounded, and now continue to bring this valuable and easy tool to my patients.
One of the most effective uses for this therapy is to release addiction from drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes. In fact, in several states, California included, the courts mandate this NADA protocol as an alternative to prison. Why suffer from your addiction any longer? Be free to discover the true self!
Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbs are widely used in internal medicine and the art has been perfected over thousands of years. Formulas are custom designed in master combinations of several herbs for a specific condition. As patients progress through treatment, it is common to see slight variations in formulas to reflect the ever-changing body environment. The herbs can be dispensed in many forms. Raw herbs, brewed into teas, are strong and quick acting. Herbs can also be taken in powder, capsule, pill, and tincture forms.
Personal Yoga or Qi Gong
Qi Gong is an ancient form of movement that accesses the body’s natural ability to heal. It is an “internal” martial art form that builds stamina, strength, and flexibility. It is a meditative and gentle exercise.
Yoga
Also an ancient form of movement, yoga has the same attributes as qi gong but focuses more on flexibility and tends to be more vigorous.
If this is totally new to you, know that you don’t have to already be flexible to participate. Sami’s teaching philosophy involves meeting you where your body is at. She has worked with all sizes and ages (from 2-82), from over-built weight lifters to debilitated patients with HIV, cancer, and Lupus. Yoga is an opportunity to heal, to clear your mind, to relax, and to feel your body in new ways. It does not conflict with religious principles, nor does it ask you to believe anything. Rather, try it and experience it for yourself.
Cupping
Glass cups are applied with suction to the back to increase qi and blood flow, releasing pain. Also used for the common cold! Very trendy... ask Gwenyth Paltrow!
Moxibustion
Mugwort is an herb that wams and increase blood flow. Rolled into a mega stick, or applied in rice-grain sized incriments to specific points, this powerful technique can release pain, stimulate the immune system, awaken the spirit, calm digestive upset, and much more.
Quit Smoking/Addictions Program
Typically the patient comes for 5 weeks: The first week 3 times, weeks 2- 4 twice weekly, week five once. Some patients need less treatment, some more. Herbs are encouraged (at an additional cost) to help the body with detoxification, restoring the lung (in the case of smoking) and the liver (in all cases of addiction).
A 9-day intensive program using yoga, herbs, and supreme nutritional therapy to increase vital energy, improve skin conditions, lose weight, boost your immune system, reduce emotional and chemical toxins, curb cravings, and develop healthier habits. See The Total Body Cleanse page for more details.
40 Day Overhaul
An extension of The Total Body Cleanse, we go deeper into the process. See The 40 Day Overhaul page for details.
Placenta Preparation
For many centuries women have maintained that ingesting the placenta after birth is essential to restoring the woman’s vital force. The chemical composition of placenta is extremely complex. Clinical science has discovered interferon, gonadotropin and natural estrogen to be its key ingredients. They are effective in assisting passive immunity and inhibiting virus growth. Placenta is known to contain natural estrogen, to enhance the growth of mammary glands, and have certain degree of effectiveness in regenerating skin tissue and prevent aging. It is a very powerful tonic, nourishing vital energy and blood. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is often used to help physical debility, anemia, and weakness.
Most women today prefer to have their placenta powdered and capsulized in order to receive the benefits without the mess (or taste!). I can assist your family, midwife, or doula in the preparation of the placenta, and then process it for you so you can recieve the benefits of this essential revitalizing gift that nature offers to you. (Arrangements should be made prior to labor).
Reiki
Energy medicine without needles! This remarkable practice involves the practitioner calling upon universal life force energy to place the patient into a deep state of relaxation where ailments, including life issues, can be healed.
