Modalities
What other forms of treatment can be used during my sessions?
CUPPING
Uses small “cups” attached via gentle suction to areas of pain or other concern. Cupping therapy promotes circulation, releases muscle tension, and stimulates energy and fluids. It is used to treat back, neck and joint pain, stiff muscles, anxiety and hypertension, fatigue, migraines, vertigo, digestion and respiratory illness.
Cupping can often cause various degrees of bruising.
GUA SHA
A traditional technique of passing a small paddle over the skin repeatedly to release “sha” or sediment build up in muscle tissue. This technique is employed to resolve muscle tension and injury, reduce fever and improve circulation. Gua Sha can produce local redness and occasional bruising.
MOXA
A mixture of finely ground herbs pressed into small cakes or “cigars” are lit to smolder and gently warm selected areas of the body. Moxibustion may be used to stimulate the movement of energy, relax muscles, improve digestion and calm the nervous system.
TUI NA
Pronounced "twee-nah", a type of Oriental medical massage in which acupressure and other massage techniques are used, often employing specific acupuncture points or meridians. This massage technique stimulates the meridians, facilitating the flow of energy. The intent of Tui Na is more specifically therapeutic than the simple relaxation of a Swedish-style massage.
HERBAL MEDICINE
Practitioners are able to choose from a vast array of medicinal plants with antiviral, antibacterial and immune-modulating properties. Chinese remedies appear to have significant therapeutic value and some work on conditions for which Western doctors have no pharmaceutical drugs. Chinese Herbal formulas sometimes contain eight to 12 specific herbs. Herbal formulas are tailored to each person and designed to treat specific health problems or correct imbalances in the body. Herbs increase circulation, remove inflammation, prevent disease, and improve your quality of life. They also help boost your immune system and correct or eliminate illness.
Using the new generation and science of herbs, the new herbs are more concentrated, so there is no need to cook them, and there is no odor. We offer Chinese herbal medicine in pill form and powder form for your convenience.
