ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is the gentle insertion of thin, sterile, disposable needles into certain designated points in the body, which induces stimulation through various manipulative methods. This is done to facilitate the body’s ability to heal itself naturally. Learn More...
GUA SHA
This technique involves palpation and stimulation by rhythmically stroking the skin with a round-edged instrument resulting in the appearance of petechiae, or small red spots. The redness is the toxic blood coming to the surface.
CUPPING
Cupping is used to relieve pain and acute illnesses. This is done by creating suction by either heating glass jars or using a vacuum with plastic cups. Circular marks where the suction took place result to show the toxic blood coming to the surface.
MOXIBUSTION
Moxibustion or “moxa” is the practice of burning of an herb called Artemesia Vulgaris or Mugwort. This herb has warming and energizing properties and is used to rid the body of excess moisture or cold as well as to build Qi.
