Acupuncture

Acupuncture originated in China over 2,000 years ago, making it one of the oldest health care systems in the world. Acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of fine, sterile, disposable needles into acupuncture points along the body’s meridians (energy pathways) to clear energy blockages and encourage the normal flow of energy, or Qi, through the body. Today, there are more and more people relying on acupuncture as an alternative natural therapy for a wide range of health problems.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicines originated in China over thousands of years ago. Most of the Chinese herbal medicine is of natural plant origins such as leaves, seeds, twigs, stems, roots, flowers and fruits. A wide variety of health conditions can be helped or prevented by Chinese herbal medicines, which are generally considered to be gentle, safe but occasionally (as with all health treatments) may be associated with possible adverse reactions in individual cases. Today, there are an increasing number of people relying on Chinese herbal medicine as an alternative solution to many health problems.

Acupressure (Remedial Massage/Tuina)

Acupressure (Remedial Massage/Tuina) is often thought of as simply acupuncture without the needles because it applies the same principles as acupuncture. With various massage manipulations such as pressing, pushing, pinching, rolling and tapping, acupressure can stimulate acupressure points, channels and muscles of the body to promote relaxation and wellness and to help particular health conditions.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.

Moxibustion Therapy

Moxibustion therapy is a traditional Chinese medical technique that involves the burning of mugwort, a small spongy herb, to expel cold and warm the meridians and acupuncture points, which lead to smooth flow of blood and Qi. Moxibustion is often used on patients with cold or stagnant health conditions.
