Services
Your Chinese medicine experience is tailored to fit your specific individual needs. Your appointment may include acupuncture, cupping, herbal medicine, guasha and/or moxibustion.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the insertion of very thin needles at specific points on the body. The body is connected by a web of energetic pathways called "meridians" through wich energy or "qi" flows. Disruptions to this flow of qi can lead to pain and illness. Acupuncture stimulates points on these meridians to ease the flow of qi and resolve the disruption.
Cupping
Cupping is a manual therapy where cups are used to create suction on the surface of the body. Through the effects of negative pressure, cupping can relieve pain and tension and improve immune function.
*Cupping may be included in your acupunture session, but if you may also book a 30minute cupping session if you would like to explore cupping as a separate experience.
Herbs
Chinese herbal medicine utilizes a wholistic lens to tailor herbal formulas for the specific needs of the individual being treated. The earliest published collection of Chinese herbal knowlege was compiled in the 2nd century CE. Today, millenia of advances in our herbal knowledge can be used to effectively treat disease.
*Herbs may be prescribed as part of your acupunture session.
