Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a complete system of medicine with principles that are based on the same basic physiology as Western Medicine.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine can be used to safely and effectively treat a large number of medical conditions and is often a necessary adjunct to acupuncture treatments.
Cupping
A variety of methods are used to apply cups to the skin which create a gentle suction over the affected area. Where a massage applies pressure to the muscle, cupping is the inverse but is often reported to feel similar.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion (Moxa) is a form of therapy in TCM in which we burn a preparation of dried mugwort (Artimesia Argyi) and position it a few inches above the skin over specific points or areas of the body.
Your Moment
While lying comfortably it is common for people to fall asleep during treatments. Soothing music and warming equipment set the stage for you to clear your mind and shed the overcoat of stressors you carry every day. Take this opportunity and allow this 3,000-year-old art form to access your higher healing self.
