What does Deepa do in a session?

Deepa listens to all aspects of your health story — from your present situation to your sleep, digestion and mood patterns. In order to come to a complete diagnosis and treatment plan, Deepa looks at you, examines your skin, eyes, sore spots, and tongue. Deepa will also touch your sore areas, your hands and feet, and your pulses on both wrists.

I combine my years of experience in multiple methods of healing to design a treatment plan for you to get rapid and effective results for your problem. If you are able to physically come to the clinic all healing modalities are possible, however Deepa also has telephone appointments for herbal, Qi Gong, nutritional and lifestyle consultations.

A treatment at Deepa Health Clinic may include any of the following:

•  Acupuncture — Skillful insertion and manipulation of fine hair-like sterile (disposable, single use) needles into the body in specific points to promote Qi flow. These points are on the energy pathways in the body, discovered by Chinese Physicians over 5000 years ago. Acupuncture is used to correct imbalances in the body's energy flow. What is commonly referred to as acupuncture in the west includes several different modalities such as moxibustion and cupping. Moxibustion refers to the burning of herbs to warm different parts of the body. The last 30 years of electromagnetic research has confirmed the existence and location of these acu-points.

• Chinese Herbology — Chinese Herbal Medicine is one of the World's oldest continually practiced professional medicines. It differs significantly from Western Herbalism, which focuses on symptoms or diseases. Chinese herbal medicine is based on individualized pattern and disease diagnosis. The TCM herbalist writes an individual prescription based on symptoms, diseases, and overall patterns of disharmony in the body. These patterns include mood, sleep, digestion, elimination, emotions as well as physical symptoms. This involves combinations of plant and mineral substances coordinated according to TCM pattern discrimination to provide symptomatic relief of a multitude of ailments. These formulas are available in many forms including pills, powders, and topical preparations. Deepa Health offers highly pure and organic herbal products, no need to go to the pharmacy!

•  Medical Qi Gong — Qi Gong accesses the energy oceans, rivers and streams of the body to move the Qi and facilitate healing from the innermost layers of the body. Medical Qi Gong treatments are given while you relax comfortably on a massage table. Medical Qi Gong also includes personalized movement and breathing exercises to be done at home for continued treatment and healing. Your personalized exercises can be recorded on DVD for you to take home and practice. Healing is in your hands and within your reach! Medical Qi Gong is similar to Acupuncture, but is done without needles. Medical Qi Gong Therapy is one of the five branches of traditional Chinese medicine. In China, where there are many medical qigong hospitals and clinics, Qi Gong is highly valued in the treatment of serious illnesses as well as stress related imbalances and disorders of aging. As with the other branches of TCM, healing occurs through balancing the life force energy or Qi, which surrounds and pervades all living creatures. Medical Qi Gong doctors are trained to feel this Qi energy — its density, texture, and emotional content and other qualities - in order to diagnose and adjust the Qi in the body. There are specific medical qigong treatments for various conditions of ill health.   In many diseases the "turbid" or diseased Qi is actually removed energetically by the Qi Gong doctor. In the case of deficient conditions the doctor transfers more Qi into the area. The purpose of this type of treatment is to release and purge strong toxic energy flows that are literally trapped in the tissues of the body. When we hold back our feelings we block the natural flow of Qi, which can create stagnant pools of toxic energy in the body. For the healing process to occur there can be no separation between body, mind, emotions and spirit — All must be in balance to maintain a healthy body. Medical Qi Gong techniques and exercises are prescribed like medicine, with the type and dose tailored to the specific needs of the client. During a treatment the doctor trains the client to focus attention equally on their physical mental, emotional and spiritual functions. Specific concentration is focused on breathing, hearing, visualization, concentration, muscle relaxation, light massage and movement to develop and control the body's intrinsic energy.

•  Massage — Chinese Tuina massage encompasses numerous techniques for treating specific ailments, muscle tension and limited mobility as well as entire protocols for pediatric diseases and improved growth and development. Although not a part of TCM, Deepa is also skilled in Deep Tissue, Sports and Swedish massage techniques and manipulations. Deepa has experience as a massage school director and instructor too!

 

 

 

•  Diet, Lifestyle and Nutrition — TCM has recognized for many years that lifestyle and nutrition effect health. Deepa may recommend an increase or decrease of certain foods or flavors in your diet to expedite healing. Sometimes nutritional supplementation and lifestyle changes will also benefit recovery. Deepa also has training in classical Western nutrition and may recommend certain supplements to increase your healing.
