Acupuncture
Practiced in China for over 2500 years, acupuncture involves the insertion of fine, sterile, disposable needles at specific acupoints throughout the body. These points help to stimulate the free flow of qi and blood along the body’s twelve energetic pathways. Acupuncture can be used to treat a wide variety of health conditions by balancing the nervous system, regulating the hormones, strengthening the immune system, and is most well-known for its ability to eliminate pain.

Cupping
Cupping is a traditional technique that uses glass cups to create suction along the skin. The resulting suction encourages blood and lymph flow to the area, facilitates myofascial release, and increases collagen production. Cupping can be used to treat pain, improve microcirculation, reduce cellulite, and more.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha involves repetitive scraping of the skin using a smooth-edged tool, traditionally made from jade or horn. Due to its repetitive nature, Gua Sha is able to re-align muscle fibers, break up scar tissue, and transform local stagnation. Gua Sha is a great alternative to acupuncture for chronic pain conditions and more.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a technique that consists of burning dried mugwort leaves on or above the surface of the skin. The resulting heat and thermal radiation promote metabolic function, improve circulation, increase immune function, regulate internal organs, and help to eliminate pain.
