Welcome to Pawleys Island Herbs and Acupuncture.  We are located inside Island Day Spa at 72 Professional Lane, which is one block north of the light at Highway 17 and Waverly Road, in Pawleys Island.  We are pleased to offer services that benefit the mind, body, and spirit.

During a treatment your body and mind get very relaxed.  You will probably sleep very well the next few nights after your treatment.  What you may not notice, but which will nevertheless be happening, are the following:

• More endorphins will be circulating in your bloodstream, leading to an enhanced sense of well-being and a decrease in pain. 
• More immune cells will be circulating as well, making it easier for your body to defend itself against the constant onslaught of viral and bacterial invaders.
• Your cells will be receiving more oxygen and vital nutrients because the relaxation that has occurred in your muscles allows better circulation and improved communication throughout your nervous system.

These are only a few of the physiological effects acupuncture is capable of producing, yet they alone would be quite powerful.  Long-term changes take place gradually.  After a few acupuncture treatments, especially when combined with herbal therapy, most people are amazed by the results.

Acupuncture needles are extremely thin.  The prick is comparable to a light scratch with a fingernail, if it is felt at all.  In the hands of a professional, these needles are completely safe. With or without acupuncture, herbal consultation is also available as are acupressure, moxibustion and microcurrent stimulation treatments. Facial rejuvenation packages, in consultation with the Island Day Spa Esthetician, are also offered.
