Restore Balance & Vitality with Chinese Medicine
Rooted in the understanding that health is a state of harmony between mind, body, and energy, this time-tested system uses acupuncture, herbal remedies, cupping, and energy healing to address imbalances at their core. Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic pain, stress, fatigue, or digestive issues, our expert practitioners blend Chinese Medicine with modern functional approaches to create a personalized path to lasting wellness.
Understanding the Flow of Qi and Meridian Theory
In Chinese Medicine, health is seen as the harmonious movement of Qi (pronounced “chee”) throughout the body. Qi flows through pathways called meridians, which connect organs, tissues, and energy centers. When Qi is balanced and flowing properly, you feel strong, energized, and resilient. When Qi is blocked or depleted, it can manifest as pain, digestive distress, stress, insomnia, or chronic conditions.
Chinese Medicine helps restore this natural flow using techniques such as:
- Acupuncture – Stimulates specific meridian points to improve circulation, reduce pain, and enhance the body’s natural healing abilities.
- Herbal Medicine – Plant-based formulas that address inflammation, stress, digestion, and immunity.
- Cupping Therapy – Encourages blood flow, releases tension, and reduces toxins in the body.
- Moxibustion (Heat Therapy) – Uses warmed herbs to enhance circulation and relieve pain.

A Healing Tradition That Stands the Test of Time
For over 2,500 years, Chinese Medicine has been used to treat a wide range of health concerns, from chronic pain and digestive disorders to anxiety, sleep issues, and hormonal imbalances. Unlike quick-fix treatments, this system works with your body’s natural rhythms to encourage long-term healing and balance.
At hol+, we integrate Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern functional medicine to create customized treatment plans that address both the symptoms and the underlying cause of imbalance. If you’re looking for a natural, effective way to restore vitality, ease discomfort, and optimize your health, our team of expert practitioners is here to help.
The 5 Elements
In Chinese medicine, the Five Elements—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water—represent different personality traits and emotional characteristics. Each element corresponds to specific qualities; for example, wood signifies growth and assertiveness, while water represents wisdom and introspection.
Balancing the Five Elements involves enhancing lifestyle and emotional well-being through diet, exercise, meditation, and acupuncture. Identifying and addressing the element out of balance can help restore overall health and harmony.
The Five Elements theory is integral to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is used to diagnose and treat imbalances within the body. It complements other TCM practices such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, and Qi Gong by providing a framework for understanding the relationships between the body’s systems and the natural world.

hol+’s Integrative Chinese Medicine Approach
We embrace the power of Traditional Chinese Medicine while integrating functional medicine for a truly comprehensive, science-backed approach to healing. Instead of a one-size-fits-all method, we take time to understand your unique health concerns, using both ancient diagnostic techniques and modern tools to create a treatment plan that works in harmony with your body.
Chinese Medicine is more than just acupuncture or herbal remedies—it is a complete healing system that restores balance, supports energy flow, and promotes long-term vitality. Whether you’re struggling with chronic pain, digestive issues, stress, or hormonal imbalances, our personalized approach helps target the root cause and guide you toward lasting wellness.
Meridian & Energy Assessments
The Meridian system is the foundation of Chinese Medicine, representing the energetic pathways that influence organ function, circulation, and emotional well-being. When Qi (life force energy) is blocked or weak, symptoms arise, ranging from fatigue and digestive distress to muscle pain and anxiety.
To better understand these imbalances, we use Acugraph technology, a cutting-edge diagnostic tool that visually maps Qi flow and blockages across your meridians. This real-time energy analysis allows us to pinpoint imbalances and create precise treatment plans that align with your unique needs.
Acupuncture Therapy
Acupuncture is one of the most well-known aspects of Chinese Medicine, offering a powerful way to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and restore energy balance. By placing fine, sterile needles along specific meridian points, acupuncture promotes circulation, releases tension, and encourages the body’s natural repair processes.
Acupuncture is highly effective for a variety of conditions, including:
- Chronic pain relief (back pain, joint pain, sciatica)
- Migraine and headache management
- Digestive disorders (bloating, IBS, acid reflux)
- Stress and anxiety reduction
- Hormonal balance and reproductive health
When combined with functional medicine, acupuncture enhances the body’s ability to heal itself, improving outcomes for both acute and chronic health concerns.
Herbal Medicine & Supplementation
Chinese herbal medicine is a key pillar of TCM, providing targeted, natural support for digestion, immunity, sleep, and energy levels. Unlike generic supplements, our herbal formulas are customized to your specific constitution, imbalances, and health concerns to ensure optimal effectiveness.
Herbs are selected based on your personalized diagnosis, helping to:
- Regulate digestion and gut health
- Reduce inflammation and strengthen immunity
- Support adrenal health and reduce fatigue
- Balance hormones and reproductive function
- Improve sleep quality and emotional well-being
Each herbal prescription is designed to work in harmony with your body’s natural rhythms, ensuring that your healing journey is gentle yet deeply effective.
