Welcome to the practice
Durham Integrative Health and Acupuncture Center is a 501c3 organization that's mission is to offer effective holistic medicine for Triangle area residents for a range of conditions utilizing four of the eight branches of the Chinese tradition; acupuncture, herbal medicine, bodywork and nutrition.
​​
While we treat conditions, we are also profoundly rooted in an understanding of how to cultivate health. To do so, we access practices on diet, movement and treatment spanning back millenia and that's what differentiates this form of medicine from a Western one.
​
A traditional East Asian worldview, is holistic by nature, and sees health as a state of regulated responsiveness between what's inside and what's outside.
Through engaging in healing practices and habits, we believe everyone can find balance (that regulated responsiveness) and well being. Our practitioners start from the assumption that everyone has an innate capacity for self healing, arising from the deep intelligence and integrity of nature itself (Dao).
