Natural Health Goes Beyond Acupuncture
In addition to acupuncture and massage therapy we also offer other healing therapies including: Cupping, Gua Sha, and Moxibustion. These therapies are perfect for supplementing acupuncture therapy and offer an alternative to those who may be reluctant to pursue acupuncture due to a fear of needles.
Remove harmful toxins and viruses from your body with our cupping service. Cupping is a process in which we use a special glass cup and a fire that sucks out the air from the cup, we then place it on the patient's body quickly, creating a vacuum. This process is painless and noninvasive and brings quick relief to the patient.
Moxibustion
Improve your health with our moxibustion therapy service. Among the benefits of this therapy are healing of inflammation, increased blood flow and Qi, and decrease inflammation. The herb Moxa has played an important role in the traditional medicine of various Asian cultures for centuries. We harness the healing power of this herb in a process called Moxibustion, a process in which we burn Moxa before applying this natural healer to the body. Moxibustion is completely safe and comfortable, encircling the body in warmth as it heals naturally.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha is a healing technique used in Asia by practitioners of Traditional Medicine, in both the clinical setting and in homes, but little known in the West. It involves palpation and cutaneous stimulation where the skin is pressured, in strokes, by a round-edged instrument; that results in the appearance of small red petechiae called 'sha', that will fade in 2 to 3 days.
Raising Sha removes blood stagnation considered pathogenic, promoting normal circulation and metabolic processes.The patient experiences immediate relief from pain, stiffness, fever, chill, cough, nausea, and so on. Gua Sha is valuable in the prevention and treatment of acute infectious illness, upper respiratory and digestive problems, and many other acute or chronic disorders.
