Herbal Medicine
Used to complement acupuncture and other treatments. Specific formulas are available or personalized prescriptions may be created for you. Side effects are uncommon when used in consultation with your acupuncturist.
Tui Na
A massage-like hands-on body treatment that uses the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The practitioner may brush, knead, roll/press and rub the areas between joints (known as the eight gates) to get Qi moving in the meridians as well as the muscles.
Cupping
Cupping uses specially designed glass cups to create a vacuum on the skin in order to promote warmth, improve circulation and release toxins in your body. It can be used as a massage or as the stationary application of the cups. It triggers the lymphatic system, clears the blood vessels, and stretches and activates skin.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is the burning of a dried Chinese herb known as mugwort on the end of needles. It is used as a warming therapy during treatment for a variety of conditions. It also moves Qi and blood, and it is thought that Moxa helps eliminate cold and dampness in the body
