​
​
Acupuncture
​
Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin, sterilized needles into specific points on the body to regulate the flow of 'Qi,' or life energy. This time-honored practice aims to restore balance, relieve pain, and promote overall well-being.
​
Herbal Prescription
​
Herbal prescriptions consist of a tailored blend of natural herbs, prepared in various forms such as capsules, teas, or tinctures. These formulations are designed to address a range of health conditions by nourishing the body, balancing internal systems, and promoting natural healing.
​
Moxibustion
​
Moxibustion is a heat therapy in which dried mugwort (Artemisia argyi) is burned near specific acupuncture points. The warm sensation penetrates deeply into the body, stimulating circulation and encouraging the smoother flow of 'Qi.'
​
Tui Na
​
Tui Na is a hands-on bodywork technique that uses various strokes, kneads, and pushes to relieve muscle tension, improve blood circulation, and balance the energy flow throughout the body. It is often used in conjunction with acupuncture for a more comprehensive treatment.
​
Gua Sha
​
Gua Sha is a therapeutic technique that involves scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to stimulate microcirculation in soft tissue. It can relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote healing. The practice may result in temporary skin reddening, known as 'sha,' which is considered a positive indicator of restored blood flow.
Each of these modalities offers unique benefits and can be utilized individually or in combination to provide a holistic approach to health and well-being.
