Treatments

Acupuncture
Stimulates Energy Movement, Connections and Functions
Acupuncture uses insertion of sterile,
single use, very thin needles through skin on various acupuncture points
which are on the
meridian pathways
where energy flows
within the body.
Each point has its unique stimulus to the body.
When combined points have a systemic effect depending on
which are chosen.
It is mostly painless,
and requires removal
of clothing where
needles are placed.

Guasha
Activates Energy
and Blood Flow
Guasha uses shaped,
blunt tools to gently
rub across areas on
the skin surface.
This stimulation clears heat or stagnant energy
and reveals where it exists if "sha" marks appear.
Similar in effect
to cupping,
it improves the flow
and transformations in body energy systems.

Tui Na
"Anmo"
Chinese Massage
Tui na stimulates
acupuncture points, meridians and body regions to improve the flow
through energy pathways.
It focuses on the
soft tissues and joints of
the musculoskeletal system,
with the same diagnoses as acupuncture.
It does not require
removal of clothing, using massage, manipulation and qigong techniques.
Tuina can be used alone,
or combined with acupuncture.

Moxibustion
Mugwort/
Artemesia herb
Moxa herb is burned to create heat
and applied to acupuncture points,
along energy pathways and body regions.
It warms and relaxes muscles,
stimulates energy movements
and improves energetic transformations.

Cupping
Improves Blood and
Lymph Function
Glass cups sealed by a vacuum are used
on the body,
creating suction, which stimulates blood
and lymph fluid flow.
The cups can be placed and stay 'static'
or gently moved around
as in 'sliding' cupping.
This clears pathologies, such as heat and
moves stagnant blood, where it occurs.
It may leave temporary, painless redness or
bruise-like marks.

TDP
Heat Lamps
Deep Tissue Microcirculation
TDP stands for
'Teding Diancibo Pu'.
It means 'special electromagnetic spectrum'.
It uses far infra red
heat technology
to stimulate microcirculation
in the blood and
lymph tissue
for deep healing.
