Fire Cupping
Fire cupping works to stimulate the flow of blood and Qi (vital energy) to the treated area, enhancing circulation, relieving tension, and promoting muscle recovery. It is also used to help expel external pathogens from the body, making it effective for treating colds, flu, and similar ailments.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion (moxa) is a traditional Chinese therapy that uses the dried herb Mugwort, valued for its healing properties. Commonly shaped into sticks, the moxa is heated and held over specific acupuncture points on the body. The warmth created by moxa stimulates the flow of blood and Qi (vital energy), relieving stagnation and helping to stimulate the body’s natural healing capabilities.
Gu Sha
Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese therapy primarily used to relieve tension, stiffness, and pain in areas such as the neck, back, and shoulders. A small, smooth tool made of ceramic, jade, or stone is used to apply pressure and scrape the skin in a single direction. This technique helps to stimulate the flow of blood and Qi (vital energy), reduce stagnation, and promote healing. Gua Sha is also used to release toxins, reduce inflammation, and boost the immune response by encouraging circulation.
Electro Acupuncture
Electro acupuncture involves attaching a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) machine to acupuncture needles, which are inserted at specific points on the body. The electrical impulses generated by the machine provide enhanced stimulation compared to traditional acupuncture, promoting the flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood. This increased stimulation helps relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and encourage movement in targeted areas. Electro acupuncture is particularly effective for treating chronic pain conditions including lower back pain, osteoarthritis, neck and shoulder pain as well as acute pain conditions including plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow as well as other musculoskeletal issues by enhancing the body’s natural healing response.
