Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used forms of medicine in the world. Originating in China more than 2,500 years ago, acupuncture is currently one of the most thoroughly researched, practiced, and respected forms of complementary medicine available anywhere. Acupuncture uses a variety of techniques, including placing very thin sterile needles into specific points on the body, to stimulate and improve your Qi flow. The many benefits of acupuncture include: Pain reduction, Stress and tension relief, Increased energy levels, Stronger digestion, Relief from bad habits and addictions, Greater sense of overall, health and well-being
Chinese Herbology
Chinese herbal medicine is a 2,000 year old tradition using naturally occurring substances — including herbs — to enhance one’s health and vitality. As opposed to Western medicine, the foundation of this approach is to support the body’s natural self-healing mechanisms and abilities.
Since each patient has different needs, I carefully select and combine a variety of herbs that will synergistically blend together to achieve optimal results for your unique situation. I prescribe high-quality, professional-grade herbal medicines that are available only to qualified licensed professionals.
Cupping
Cupping has been a part of Chinese Medicine for over 2,500 years. It relieves aches and pains, improves circulation, and also helps with respiratory and digestive issues. I simply place a specialized “cup” onto specific points on your body, and then use suction to draw your skin up into the cups. It doesn’t hurt — it simply draws fresh blood to that area of your body, which facilitates the cleansing and strengthening of your Qi (energy). The end result is a greater overall sense of health and well-being.
Pulse Diagnosis
One of the most common questions that patients ask about Chinese Medicine is: “Why does my practitioner check my pulse?” Pulse diagnosis is actually one of the most complex and important diagnostic techniques we use in Chinese Medicine. Through feeling and evaluating your pulse, I obtain an accurate diagnosis of your overall constitution, Qi (energy) flow, and internal organ health, among other things. I then synthesize all of this information into a highly effective and individualized treatment plan for your specific needs.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that involves the burning of mugwort, a small, spongy herb, to facilitate healing and health. Moxibustion has been used for healing purposes throughout Asia for thousands of years. The purpose of moxibustion, as with most forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is to strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of Qi (energy), and enhance your overall vitality and health.
Electroacupuncture
Electroacupuncture is a highly effective holistic treatment for pain, nausea, and chronic ailments. In practice, it is actually very similar to traditional acupuncture. Using the exact same system of Chinese Medicine, I insert very thin and sterile needles into specific points along the meridians of your body. I then attach the needles to a device that delivers gentle electrical pulses between two points. This helps restore the healthy flow of Qi (energy) through your body, removing any blockages and clearing out stagnant areas, thus creating a stronger and clearer experience of health and well-being.
Testimonials
After a bout of COVID-19 in December 2020, I was plagued with migraines. A friend recommended acupuncture and provided me with the information to contact Dr Blake at Smoky Mountain Natural Wellness. Dr Blake was attentive to my needs and immediately began to work on the issue. It wasn’t long before my headaches became less severe and less frequent. I want to express my appreciation for the wonderful care that Dr Blake has given me. I highly recommend this practice for those who are looking for alternative healthcare.
Three years ago, I came to Dr. Blake with the most excruciating back pain. I had been to a medical doctor. He did not diagnose the problem, but I was told to see a physical therapist. Physical therapy made the pain worse. I then saw a message therapist. There I received a little relief but the pain would resurface. Next I visited a chiropractor who told me I had a muscle problem. He suggested I see an acupuncturist. Dr. Blake was recommended. I explained the pain that I was experiencing. He immediately made a diagnosis, “trigger points”. THREE acupuncture treatments later,. I was PAIN FREE!!! I will forever be at thankful for Dr. Blake. His knowledge of the human body is remarkable. I highly. recommend him. — Nancy Thomas
