Insertive and Non-insertive Acupuncture

Insertive and Non-insertive Acupuncture

Stress, migraines, depression and anxiety are just a few symptoms acupuncturists say can be healed through Eastern Practice.

The healing process of acupuncture with and without needles was demonstrated today during the “Your Mind Matters” series held at the Peter White Public Library.
“Pain, mood, digestion, if there is anything plaguing you, you should try acupuncture. It was a primary mode of medicine in other countries and still is,” said Alicia Dambeck, Acupuncturist.
Acupuncture is about aligning, the mind body and spirit to cure. For some the concept is working as a few testimonies were given as proof.
“She’s having digestive issues and food sensitivity and she wasn’t sleeping well, she was waking up several times a night.  After the treatment she would sleep better for at least 3 nights and gradually it is getting more, it’s cumulative,” said Tifany Galer, Iron Mountain Resident.
“So we did a non-insertive acupuncture that is based on using tools that scrape and scrap and move around on the meridians, under the theory that we have these meridians inside of us and that if they are more balanced you feel better,” continued Dambeck.
Dambeck specializes in Five-Element and Pediatric Acupuncture.

Tea Ceremony with Peiju Picard

Tea Ceremony with Peiju Picard


A Chinese Tea Ceremony is a sacred time for people to get together to talk and share their thoughts and feelings. It also can be simply to relax and enjoy the tea and a quiet moment.
The tea ceremony is a way to slow down the fast pace of modern life, focus mental energies, relax, and enjoy an ancient tradition. There are four principles in Ch'a Tao (Way of Tea), revealed by sixteenth century tea master Lu Yu. The four principles are harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility. They represent the highest ideals of humanity and help one's spiritual growth. The purpose of the tea ceremony is to slow down, enjoy the present moment, and open one's heart to inspiration from art and beauty in everyday life.

The ritual of steeping the tea in the small teapot can extract the finest flavor from high quality tea. In the Tea Ceremony, you will have time to allow your senses to fully experience the moment. By enjoying the purity of tea’s color, smelling its special aroma, and tasting tea from a small teacup, your mind will focus on the meaningful values revealed in the Way of Tea. After the ceremony, one can find a new peace of mind and walk into the world with peaceful thoughts and pleasant mood.
