Moxibustion
Moxibustion is the burning of an herb called Ai Ye or Mugwort. It is used to gently warm acupuncture points and regions of the body. The properties of the herb have a unique way of igniting the bodies healing response by promoting blood flow to the region being treated and reestablishing homeostasis.
Gua Sha and Cupping
Gua Sha has been shown to decrease inflammation by increasing the flow of blood and fluids at the surface of the skin. Gua Sha is the scraping of the skin with a smooth edged porcelain tool. By promoting circulation it encourages cellular repair to help with muscle tension and pain. It can also aid in the bodies natural detoxification process by stimulating lymphatic flow. Cupping has similar benefits to gua sha but uses cups that create a suction to communicate with the body and restore function. Cupping is preferred over larger areas and Gua Sha is preferred in smaller harder to reach areas such as the neck, face, and jaw line. Cupping and Gua Sha are included with the acupuncture treatments if indicated!
Tui Na
Tui Na is a type of manual hand technique using the guiding theories of Chinese Medicine. Working along the acupuncture meridians, Tui Na unblocks tension, contraction, and tightness to relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
