Five Seasons Healing in New York City offers acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, medical massage, and other therapies to treat acute and chronic conditions. Traditional Chinese medicine approaches the human body as part of the natural world and thus inextricably linked to natural cycles. When we eat peas in the spring and pumpkin in the fall, when we play under the sun in the summer and cozy up to a fire in the winter, we resonate with the earth's natural rhythms and achieve a greater sense of health and well-being. In Chinese medicine, each year is divided into five seasons—spring, summer, late summer, autumn, and winter. Just as different seasons call for different forms of care, so do the different seasons of our lives. At Five Seasons Healing, Sharon Yeung MS, LAc recognizes the distinct needs of infants, children, adolescents, adults & mature adults and uses the tools of Chinese medicine—acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, massage, qi gong and lifestyle and nutritional counseling—to restore harmony and balance to their lives.
