The Community Acupuncture Clinic at Dogwood Wellness

Every Wednesday |  12:00PM - 2:00PM  | By Appointment

Acupuncture works by freeing up blockages and strengthening deficiencies in the flow of a person’s energy. On the first visit, the practitioner listens to you tell your story of your symptoms and what has lead you to seek acupuncture treatment.Your medical history, your life stressors, past and present, your diet, exercise, and your predominant emotions. All of these characteristics of who you are are taken into account as the practitioner diagnoses the pattern of imbalance that you have which has given rise to the particular problems you are having.  

During the course of treatment patients usually experience a gradual lessening of symptoms, and an increased feeling of good health. In many cases additional improvements occur that are outside of what the original concern was for seeking treatment. For instance, often a patient comes in only for back pain, but during the course of treatment they may also feel like they have more energy, a better mood in general, better digestion and they may also find they sleep better. Their whole being seems to improve at once because acupuncture treats the energy field which affects the total person, so healing occurs on all levels at once all over the body. In other words, it balances you body-mind-and spirit so you can begin to heal.

Andrea is offering Chinese medicine to you at a rate you can afford.  Receive acupuncture treatments in a group setting during this weekly clinic  Experience the healing and relaxation of Chinese Medicine.

The Benefits of Acupuncture

Chinese medicine has been used to treat all the ills of human societies for over, 3,000 years. This system of medicine is extremely safe with no known side effects. It works by communicating with the energy system of your body-mind to remind it how, to be in it’s natural, healthy state. Once you are balanced, your natural healing ability kicks in to heal yourself of, whatever problems you may be having.

Due to the experience of many stressors, the affects of which accumulate, during our lifetimes, our energy system develops deficiencies and stagnations, which then opens us to developing symptoms. Acupuncture, herbology and, massage as well as diet and exercise are used in the best combinations to, balance the particular pattern of disharmony which has given, or may give rise, to symptoms. Although Chinese Medicine is great for removing the cause of, symptoms, it is even better to receive treatment before you have a symptom to keep yourself healthy and balanced and prevent illness.

The Enneagram:  A Road Map to Understanding Personality

Tuesday, August 21, 2012 at 7:00pm

Ancient Enneagram Symbol

The Enneagram is a road map to understanding your personality. This ancient symbol holds the keys to decoding the basic personality types and their issues which gives you the power to heal yourself and others emotionally and spiritually. Ancient Chinese philosophers said the highest form of medicine was the medicine which heals the spirit. The Enneagram offers such depth of psychological healing it enables the healing of the body, mind and spirit. Serving the Western North Carolina region for 17 years, Andrea Ford blends Chinese Medicine, Enneagram Counseling, and Functional Medicine to create a personalized approach to wellness for the mind, body and spirit. Andrea offers workshops at her hand built Cob Cottage in Isis Cove Retreat Center in the Western North Carolina Mountains on the Enneagram & how understanding your personality influences all aspects of your life and relationships. Andrea is also an accomplished Pencil Artist and Earthen Builder.

Her art can be viewed Etsy and Fine Art America.
