Addressing the Opioid Crisis with Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine

In the early 1980’s, acupuncture became a focused treatment for addressing drug and alcohol addictions at Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx of New York City.  The Lincoln Recovery Center has given more than 800,000 acupuncture treatments in the past 34 years.  In 2006, the Center for Substance Abuse highlights the use of acupuncture in its best practice guidelines for the treatment of addictions.

Natures Wisdom Healing Center offers treatment to support gaining freedom from additions.   The plan includes a series of acupuncture treatments, herbal medicinal formulas for detoxing and balancing brain chemistry from Pacific Biologic, detoxification and nutritional support from Standard Process.

What is Medical Qigong?

Medical Qigong is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine along with acupuncture, herbal medicine and massage.  Qi, pronounced Chi, means “universal life force” and gong means “skillful cultivation of”. 

Medical Qigong is a medical system originating in China over 2500 ago where a skilled practitioner has learned to gather Qi, build Qi and direct Qi very intentionally for the purpose healing.

With Medical Qigong, the Qi is given directive to work in the body of the patient to push through blockages and break up imbalances.  As the old patterns are disrupted, the universal life force is directed to get to work restoring the natural balance in the systems of the body.  Medical Qigong is a powerful gentle healing experience.  The patient is often given Qigong exercises to practice at home to support the generation and utilization of Qi.  Some practitioners of Medical Qi Gong offer opportunities for people to learn and practice Qigong healing moves, stances and breathing.

The main system that Medical Qigong works with is the respiratory system.  Without breath, we perish.  With conscious deliberate focused ways of breathing in Medical Qi Gong, the breath becomes bellows that contract to draw out disruptive Qi and expand to fill areas that need it a Qi infusion.  As Qi builds in the body through breath,  we have more energy to positively influence our health.
