Guided by experienced practitioners, participants engage in these practices within the tranquil surroundings of our center, fostering a deep connection between body, mind, and spirit.

Acupuncture

At the Wood Dragon Inn, Acupuncture is a key element of our integrative treatment approach, offering a time-tested method for promoting health and well-being. This ancient practice involves the insertion of very thin needles through the skin at strategic points on the body, a technique that has been used for thousands of years to treat a variety of conditions.

Our licensed acupuncturists tailor treatments to the individual needs of our clients, aiming to restore the flow of qi (vital energy) and achieve balance within the body’s systems. Acupuncture is recognized for its ability to reduce stress, alleviate pain, enhance mood, and improve overall health. By providing a calming, therapeutic experience, it complements our holistic approach to recovery, aiding in the healing of both body and mind.
