Acupunture
-
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese method used to relieve some health issues. The acupuncturist inserts very thin steel needles into the skin at multiple “acupoints” to stimulate specific points in the body. The needles rebalance the body’s energy, or Qi, and prompt the body to release natural chemicals to fight the illness or symptom.
-
Scientific studies have confirmed that acupuncture is very effective for any pain, digestive, respiratory, musculo-skeletal, infertility, insomnia and other conditions.
Cupping
-
“Wherever there’s stagnation, there will be pain. Remove the stagnation, and you remove the pain.” Chinese cupping is therefore a method of breaking up the blockage to restore the body’s natural flow of energy.

The sensation of Chinese cupping is a particularly relaxing and relieving. It helps with pain, inflammation, detoxifying, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, also as a type of deep-tissue massage.

Chinese Tui Na
-
Tui Na originated in ancient China, and is believed to be oldest system of bodywork. Tui Na massage stimulates the flow of Qi to promote balance and harmony within the body using many of the same principles of acupuncture.

The goal of tuina massage is to create harmony in the yin and yang of the body by getting rid of blockages and disturbances that manifest as illness, disease, and emotional issues.

Like acupuncture, tuina massage uses the same energetic meridians and acupoints to balance the Qi and blood in your body, leading to better health.
Moxibustion
-
Moxibustion is a form of therapy that entails the burning of mugwort leaves. This is a spongy herb that is believed to enhance healing with acupuncture. As such, the leaves are burnt close to the skin's surface using a stick to apply heat.

The heat generated through moxibustion can help to increase the flow of energy throughout the body. This happens through some pathways known as meridians.

Its purpose is to strengthen the blood movement, stimulate the flow of Qi or energy, and help your body deal with a broad range of issues and achieve health and wellness.
Chinese Herb

Chinese herbal medicine is part of a larger healing system called Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Herbs are prescribed to restore energy balance to the opposing forces of energy - Yin and Yang - that run through invisible channels in the body.

Herbs can act on the body as powerfully as pharmaceutical drugs and should be treated with the same caution and respect.
