Chinese Herbs
Chinese herbs have been used for centuries. Among the earliest literature are lists of prescriptions for specific ailments, exemplified by the manuscript "Recipes for 52 Ailments", found in the Mawangdui tombs which were sealed in 168 BC.
The first traditionally recognized herbalist is Shénnóng (神农, lit. "Divine Farmer"), a mythical god-like figure, who is said to have lived around 2800 BC.[2] He allegedly tasted hundreds of herbs and imparted his knowledge of medicinal and poisonous plants to farmers. His Shénnóng Běn Cǎo Jīng (神农本草经, Shennong's Materia Medica) is considered as the oldest book on Chinese herbal medicine. It classifies 365 species of roots, grass, woods, furs, animals and stones into three categories of herbal medicine. The above paragraph is harvested from Wikipedia.
Cupping
Cupping therapy was used in Egypt dating back some 3,500 years, where its use is represented in hieroglyphic writing. The earliest recorded use of Cupping is from the famous Taoist alchemist and herbalist, Ge Hong (281–341 A.D.). In ancient Greece, Hippocrates recommended the use of cups for a variety of ailments, while in the early 1900’s eminent British physician, Sir Arthur Keith, wrote how he witnessed Cupping performed with excellent success.
Testimonials
I am currently being treated for chilblains. I went first for severe back pain and it was gone the next day. The chilblains has improved significantly! He has also treated my asthma which was becoming a problem for me having to take my inhailor so often and now I can't remember the last time I used the inhailor! They made sure every single question I had was answered, and are always available if I think of any more questions I want answered. Their staff is the most friendly, welcoming staff I've ever dealt with. I was very scared of needles but they were very patient with me. I was very satisfied with my visit. The office was very easy to locate. I didn't have any trouble finding it at all. I will absolutely return. I had an amazing experience, and they were by far the best I've ever seen

Acupuncture has cured me of over five years of chronic neck pain. Combined with herbs and exercise, acupuncture was successful where other medical treatments failed. A routine of periodic maintenance treatments has kept me pain free and in good general health. Dr. Kechichian is very thorough and explains each procedure, especially good for those who have not tried acupuncture before. I have recommended him to others who suffer from chronic ailments
