BambooQi (pronounced chee) is the body’s life enabling vital energy. We experience blockage or depletion of  this vital energy as pain, disease or disharmony. These effects may be felt in our body, mind, and/or spirit. In Asian Medicine, methods like acupuncture, cupping, guasha, herbs, moxibustion, tuina massage, and qigong are used to balance and free the flow of Qi. Mark Melchiorre uses these Asian Energy Medicine methods, including specialized forms of acupuncture known as Balance, Chronotherapy, and I Ching styles, to promote health and to effectively treat and prevent a variety of physical and emotional disorders. Mark teaches tai chi and qigong, Asian Medicine's self-care component, to those interested in health maintenance, self-healing and increasing vitality.

What people say about Mark's treatments and classes:

“Just wanted to thank you again for such a wonderful experience at the park yesterday. I really enjoyed the class and the wonderful energy that you helped us generate as a group and within ourselves.”  -JC

Pain and disease are caused by blockage of the body's vital energy. The Chinese call this energy "Qi." It is said that:

"Where Qi does not flow, there is pain"

Imbalances leading to blockage of the vital energy/Qi include:

  • Emotions: Anger, anxiety, worry, sadness, fear, depression, stress.
  • Environment: Allergens, climate, noise, radiation, toxins.
  • Diet: Drugs, toxins, lack of nutritious foods, overeating of sweets, caffeine, fats.
  • Physical: Overwork, lack of exercise, improper exercise, bad posture, injuries.

The first step in restoring health is to insure the free flow of the vital energy/Qi in the body to maximize your innate ability for self-healing, increased vitality, and inner calm.

"Where there is free flow of Qi, there is no pain"
