Chinese Medicine at TENET
Classical Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine
Most modern practitioners are trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which only recognizes 12 acupuncture channels. At TENET, we practice Classical Chinese Medicine—a more complete and preserved lineage that works with 72 channels.
These additional channels resonate with deeper, more subtle layers in the body, allowing for treatments that are more versatile and precise, unlocking long-term healing and transformation. By regulating the flow through these channels, acupuncture can:
Boost cellular regeneration and natural healing
Support emotional balance and mental clarity
Promote relaxation, sleep, and immunity
Enhance vitality, mood, and longevity
When working with herbs, we integrate a Classical perspective by overlaying evidence-based research with a framework that considers the nature of each herb—including temperature, flavor, viscosity, and other yin/yang properties. This ensures you receive a formula that’s uniquely suited to you and substantiated by modern science.
Four Treasures: Jing, Blood, Qi, & Shen
Traditionally, Chinese medicine treasures three essential substances:
Jing: your foundational essence or genetic blueprint
Qi: your energetic life force
Shen: your spirit, your presence, your ‘vibe’
At TENET, we honor a fourth treasure: Blood.
It is said that Blood is the mother of Qi, Qi is the commander of Blood. Inseparable and interdependent, to regulate one you must attend to the other. Blood is the substantial half of your life-force.
Every acupuncture treatment is personalized with the four treasures in mind. By engaging the intersection of these biophysical relationships, Chinese medicine helps us live longer, happier, and more healthful lives.
