Acupuncture is one of the primary treatments used in the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine. According the TCM, acupuncture promotes the body’s healing abilities by regulating the flow of Qi (vital life energy in the body, pronounced “chee”) by inserting very fine needles into specific points in the body. Over many years, TCM has mapped out the flow of Qi in the body through a system called meridians. Each of the 12 main meridians connects to one specific organ, or group of organs, that govern particular bodily functions. Illness results when Qi stagnates or is blocked, or when the body has too little,  or too much, of it. When energy flows freely, wellbeing is restored.

Chinese herbal medicine is the use of plants, flowers and minerals for healing. Herbs are highly specific in their actions and possess diverse qualities and properties to target different aspects of an ailment. Herbs are classified as hot or cold, bitter or sweet, and more. When your illness is warmer in nature, cooling herbs are appropriate. As an example, let’s take the common cold. Your cold may have heat signs, such as fever, yellow phlegm and a sore throat. So, your herb formula would include herbs of a colder nature to clear the heat from you. From this simple example, you can see how herbal formulas are specifically tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Herbs come in many forms, most popularly pills and teas. When used correctly under the guidance of the practitioner, they are generally safe and rarely have side effects.

cupping

11062b_50823653f9bb4794a1410e88fff3b6c6~

Cupping is an ancient technique that involves placing jars on the skin, suctioning out the air and creating a vacuum. The underlying tissue is raised, or sucked, partway into the cup. The purpose of cupping is to enhance circulation, help relieve pain, removes “heat,” and pull toxins from your body’s tissue.  This can benefit patients with the Flu, colds, coughs, muscle pain, poor circulation, anxiety, red itchy skin conditions, allergies, fevers, aches etc.

You usually feel a tight sensation in the area of the cup and that often feels good and relaxing for aching muscles. Cups are generally left in place for 5-20 minutes. Cupping causes the skin to temporarily turn red, blue or purple, especially if there is an energetic blockage under the cups. The skin discoloration may last anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. It often gets good results for patients with the flu, colds, back pain, muscle pain, red itchy skin conditions, allergies, fevers, aches and pains. 

Ideal for individuals experiencing persistent coldness, digestive or menstrual discomfort that tends to improve with warmth, low energy, or chronic aches and stiffness. Focused moxa stimulation is applied to carefully selected points to provide concentrated warmth and support circulation, relaxation, and the body's natural restorative response. Because the treatment uses focused heat, a brief warm or mildly prickling sensation may be felt during the session.
