Providing Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Holistic Services to Oakhurst and our Mountain Community
Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture are the world’s oldest, continuously practiced, professional treatments. Acupuncture first gained Western recognition during the 1970’s after President Nixon re-established diplomatic relations with China. A journalist, who was covering Nixon’s historic visit to China, had an emergency appendectomy. The Chinese doctors utilized only acupuncture anesthesia during the surgery. The amazed journalist reported on this incredible experience to his western readers. Since then, Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture have entered the mainstream and have become complimentary medical practices utilized by health care practitioners and patients seeking a more holistic approach to healthcare. <meta name="p:domain_verify" content=
