Chinese medicine, an ancient art of healing, employs many time-honored techniques that are used to stimulate the body to activate its self-healing powers. In Asia, the use of acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion (a warming process) and herbal remedies have long been known to enhance the immune system and sense of well-being that are essential in keeping the body strong in its resistance to disease.Jade Mountain Health is located in Boulder, Colorado, and was founded by Andrew Maloney, a licensed and board certified Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist.

Jade Mountain is the highest mountain in Taiwan and renowned for it's beauty and challenging climbs. In aspiring to higher aims, blending mastery and skill into a medical art form that has already existed for 3000 years, Jade Mountain Health was established in 2004. Located in North Boulder, Jade Mountain Health is surrounded by a natural environment that allows the healing to begin as soon as you leave your car.
In ancient times, cupping known as the horn method, or the fire cup involved burning materials within a cup, to form a vacuum, which was then placed on the skin. The build-up of negative pressure pulls the skin into the cup leading to a therapeutic effect on tissue in the area. Cupping often leads to bruising which is an indication of blood congestion below the surface of the skin.
Chinese herbal medicine has been in use for over 3000 years steeped in a tradition that used empirical evidence (actual results) as a guide for its use and efficacy. The earliest known recording of herbal formulas dates to the end of the third century B.C. Currently there are over 4000 herbs in the Chinese apothecary and about as many formulas using combinations of these herbs.
Acupuncture is one of the modalities of Oriental Medicine. Fine needles are inserted into the body at specific points that have shown to be effective in the treatment of specific health conditions. In the past three decades, electromagnetic research has confirmed the existence and location of these points.

Highly Recommend! Andrew has been a huge support and comfort to me as I've struggled with complicated chronic health issues. I can't say enough about him and Jade Mountain Health! He is very understanding and you can tell is thoughtful about my treatments. The office environment is soothing, appointments timely, and I always leave feeling better! My treatments, which have included acupuncture, moxibustion, Chinese herbs, massage, and some talk therapy, are always very nourishing. Andrew's insights and advice are very helpful, without judgement, and relevant.
I've needed special considerations because of my physical ailments and Andrew has easily accommodated me making sure that I am comfortable. Sometimes I leave an appointment and notice I can actually breathe again which is such a gift!

I've had many experiences with acupuncture, and can definitely say Andrew is as good as it gets. I was visiting Boulder and a friend recommended I go see him for a chronic health problem. Andrew was able to fit me in at very short notice, and everything about the experience showed me he is in the business first and foremost to help people get healthy. I wish I had been able to have more sessions--looking forward to next time I am able to visit/live in Boulder.

I go to Jade Mountain Health for tendon issues and have noticed a serious improvement from Andrew's work. The first issue was in my wrist last year and we healed that up quickly. My current issue is the iliopsoas which we have been treating for about two weeks. I noticed symptoms months ago, but thought the pain would go away on its own. No such luck.
We are now making good progress and the pain is diminishing. Don't think twice if you have aches and pains, go see him. He is very easy to work with and makes the experience very pleasurable. Thank you!

Andrew is amazing. I have been seeing Andrew for over a year now and has helped with various issues. Using both acupuncture and Chinese herbs, he had cut my need for asthma medication by 60-70%. He has also been working with my ankles to improve blood flow in my joints following a traumatic ankle injury over a decade ago that has caused chronic pain everyday. I now have many pain free days. Thank you Andrew.

Andrew is an incredible and effective acupuncturist and care provider. He provides individual, personalized care and takes a proactive interest in my particular case. Hi has given me a second chance at life. Two years ago I first went to Andrew when my body and mind were racked with ADHD. I had given up trying to apply my intelligence and skills and had decided to be a cashier, and every cell in my body was screaming with anxiety.
Within two minutes of Andrew's starting my first treatment my entire body quieted down. I started to gain mental clarity very shortly after starting treatment, and for the first time I was able to focus on the task at hand without being tempted by distractions. Within a year of starting to receive care from Andrew I had laid the framework for going back to school to launch a new career, and in the two years since I started seeing him I have been able to catch up on the personal growth that had not previously been possible due to my ADHD. I have been completely off medication for two years and am thrilled with the new successful path I'm on. Thanks, Andrew!
