The treatments are tailored to what you need at that moment to nurture your mind, body, and spirit. Your body is constantly changing in response to the stress in your life, your work and lifestyle, what you eat, how you sleep, your stage of life and the seasons. When you experience pain, illness or a lack of energy, it is a sign that something is out of balance. We can correct that imbalance with targeted treatments and gentle herbal prescriptions.
Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most widely-known methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This healing technique stimulates the body's immune system and strengthens its ability to heal. Acupuncture typically involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles at precise acupuncture points to remove blockages in the body's energy (Qi).
Moxibustion involves burning a fragrant medicinal herb slowly, applying the heat to specific acupuncture points on the body. Sometimes a heat lamp is used to apply heat to larger areas. Heat therapy is used to gently stimulate acupuncture points or painful areas of the body in order to assist the healing process.
Chinese Herbal Medicine uses combinations of plants and minerals to help stimulate the body's immune system and strengthen its ability to heal. Herbal Medicine is a powerful healing tool that can be used to address a variety of ailments, from minor imbalances to chronic conditions, with minimal side effects.
Cupping is a therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The suction is designed to stimulate the flow of blood within the superficial muscle layers, promoting the flow of energy (Qi) and removal of toxins from the body. It is commonly used to help relieve stress and muscle tension as well as the common cold.
Gua Sha is a technique used to release muscle tension, tightness, constriction and pain. A Chinese spoon is used to gently stroke the skin over a problem area and stimulate blood flow. In turn, this releases stagnant toxins and allows new blood to replace the stagnant. Gua Sha is as effective as a deep tissue massage in treating problem areas.
Tui Na is a Chinese medicinal massage technique that aims to soften the muscles, increase circulation and range of motion. It’s often used to relieve muscle pain, tension and inflammation, and to heal physical injuries.
