Honoring a Living Tradition: Classical Acupuncture at Its Root

Located in Carlisle, we offer more than just acupuncture treatments—we offer a reconnection to a profound and time-tested system of healing that has nurtured human health for centuries. Our practice is firmly rooted in the classical foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and we are proud to uphold the integrity and depth of this ancient lineage in every aspect of our work.

Central to our approach is the study and clinical application of the 17th-century medical classic, 《針灸大成》 (Zhēnjiǔ Dàchéng), also known in English as The Great Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion. This monumental text, compiled by Yang Jizhou during the Ming Dynasty, is revered as one of the most comprehensive and authoritative works in the history of Chinese acupuncture. It preserves the accumulated wisdom of over a millennium of practice, distilling the essential knowledge of meridians, point theory, needling techniques, and moxibustion into a cohesive and elegant clinical system.
