Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a tool used in Chinese medicine to bring the body back into balance, healing patterns of disease. There are 20 acupuncture channels and about 365 acupuncture points located all over the body. Blockages in these channels can cause pain and illness to occur. Acupuncture points used on these channels give specific messages to the body to redirect its normal functioning. Moxibustion, Gua sha, cupping, Tui Na massage, essential oils and herbs are supportive techniques which may be used during your session.
Moxibustion, a form of heat therapy, is sometimes used to complement the acupuncture treatment. Gua sha is a technique used to promote circulation in the muscle layer and release toxins in the body using scraping tool such as a ceramic spoon or an animal horn. Cupping involves suctioned cups that slide along the body. Gua sha and cupping are often used to alleviate symptoms of muscular pain and the beginnings of respiratory illnesses. They detox the muscles by breaking up extra capillaries the body has created to store toxins, often produced by stress, illness and injury.
