Services Acupuncture Best Acupuncture Chicago treatment and Traditional Chinese Medicine are thousands of years old and is still the primary medicine of China. Traditional Chinese Medicine is a complete medical system for diagnosis and treatment. The individual is seen as an integrated whole. Every part, process, thought, and emotion within the individual is considered in terms of its contribution to the healthy functioning of the whole person. Each disease and disorder is not seen as an isolated event but as an outward manifestation of the person as a whole being out of balance. Chicago Acupuncture is able to influence health and sickness by stimulating meridians or, “energy pathways” along the body. These “energy pathways” are stimulated using single use needles that are as thin as a hair. The goal of acupuncture is to put your body into a state that allows it to heal itself.

NAET Allergy Elimination “Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques, also known as NAET®, are a noninvasive, drug free, natural solution to eliminate allergies of all types and intensities using a blend of selective energy balancing, testing and treatment procedures from acupuncture/acupressure, and kinesiological disciplines of medicine.”
What can NAET treat? Dr. Devi defines an allergen as anything that causes an adverse reaction that does not cause an adverse reaction in a healthy individual. NAET has been shown to help a wide variety of issues including but not limited to: asthma, allergies, digestion, women’s health & fertility, thyroid disorders, stress/anxiety, chronic pain, skin disorders. This modality works best for those with chronic illness that may/may not have known allergies. It is also very beneficial for those that want to feel relief from their seasonal allergies.
Chinese Herbal Medicine One of the principle branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine is herbal medicine. It can be used as a primary means of treatment or in conjunction with acupuncture to help correct imbalances and promote wellness. Frequently, when combined with acupuncture it is viewed as a way to continue treatment at home. Each individual is given a Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis. Herbal formulas are chosen and created based off of the individual needs of each patient, which minimizes the potential side effects. Herbal formulas are meant to correct the underlying imbalances, as well as address the symptoms. Our clinic offers high quality herbal formulas in both granules and patent (pill) forms. They have been tested for potency and safety (including testing for heavy metals, pesticides, and microorganisms) and meet GMP standards.
Access Consciousness What is Access Consciousness? Access is about teaching you to be the question, instead of always searching for the answers. The motto of Access Consciousness is: “All of life comes to me with ease joy and glory.” Access Consciousness is a simple set of tools, techniques and philosophies that allow you to create dynamic change in every area of your life, with your body and with you. Founded by Gary Douglas in 1990 and expanding with the more recent contribution of Dr. Dain Heer, Access Consciousness is now available in many countries throughout the world. Science tells us our thoughts influence our molecules, and repetitive negative thinking can be stored in the body, creating disease, disorder and aging. Access Consciousness is an energy therapy designed to release these thoughts, and therefore heal the physical, mental and emotional aspects, through a technique called “running the Bars.” This potent, hands-on body process consists of lightly holding 32 points on the head (the Bars) to release electromagnetic components of thought. One Bars session starts a flow of energy that can erase years of fixed points of view, judgments, negative feelings, and limiting beliefs that hold you back in all areas of life, and that can be creating illness.
Reiki What is Reiki Chicago? Reiki is a technique used to reduce stress and promote relaxation. It was developed over 100 years ago in Japan by Mikao Usui (August 15, 1865- March 9, 1926). His family lineage is derived from the Samurai, and he was brought up Tendai Buddhist. Later in life he became a lay monk. Unfortunately, there is a lot of dispute as to the true history of Usui Sensei and how the technique was developed. The one thing that people agree on is that Usui Sensei was Buddhist and although you do not need to be Buddhist, or believe in it, the foundations of Reiki can be found in Buddhism. Rei – spiritual or sacred Ki – energy Reiki Energy Healing Almost every culture has some concept of energy. The Chinese refer to it as “Qi”, Quantum Physics refers to it as “Universal or Biomagnetic Energy”, and the Japanese refer to it as “Ki”. It is the “life force energy” that flows throw all things. Reiki works to balance this energy. When Ki is balanced and in harmony you are less likely to get sick, feel stress, and are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki Chicago works to treat the whole person including the body, emotions, mind and spirit allowing for the body to feel relaxed, at peace, and secure. It is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that anyone can use or learn. It also works well in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. It has even been shown to decrease healing time after surgery. It is not dependent on intellect, spiritual beliefs or faith making it easy for anyone to learn. While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use this healing technique. In fact, this healing method is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not.
What to expect during a Reiki session? Your session may be a distance healing or in person. For distance healings prearranged agreed upon time will be set. During that time the client will be at home in a safe quiet place preferably laying down. The practitioner will then send the Reiki treatment at the agreed upon time. During an in person session the client will be able to unwind in one of out comfortable relaxing rooms. The practitioner will either have their hands slightly above or gently placed on the client. Generally, the areas of focus are head, throat, upper/ mid chest, abdomen, hips, knees, ankles and feet on both the front and back of the body. Common sensations include: Warmth, cold, tingling, seeing colors, a feeling of peace, or a deep sleep.
