Acupuncture

Acupuncturists recognize particular pathways called “meridians” through which the QI energy circulates, connecting all the major organs and glands with the skin surface.

Acupuncture has been scientifically shown to assist in self-healing by reducing pain and inflammation, strengthening organ function and balancing hormones – including endorphins and brain neuro-transmitters.

Herbology
Herbology is traditionally one of the more important modalities utilized in Traditional Oriental Medicine (TOM). Each herbal medicine prescription is a cocktail of many herbs tailored to the individual patient.
The practitioner usually designs a remedy using one or two main ingredients that target the illness. Then the practitioner adds many other ingredients to adjust the formula to the patient’s conditions.
 

 

Cupping
Cupping is an ancient Chinese method, and was widely practiced in Europe up to the 20th century. Cups are placed on the skin and a partial vacuum is created, either by means of heat or suction, to draw up the underlying tissues.
When the cup is left in place on the skin for a few minutes, stagnation-like soreness in stiff muscles will be released, and localized healing takes place. Cupping therapy has been further developed as a means to open the QI meridians (energy pathways) of the body. Cupping has also been found to affect the body up to four inches under the skin, causing tissues to release toxins, activate the lymphatic system, clear the veins, arteries and capillaries, and increase circulation at the skin’s cellular level.

 

 

 

 

 

Tui-Na, Acupressure, Massage
Tui-Na is a unique type of Oriental medicinal massage, consisting of brushing, kneading, rolling, pressing, pulling and rubbing specific areas of the body to open the body’s defensive (WeiQi) energies, and get the QI moving in both the meridians and the muscles. It is typically applied to painful joints, muscles, tendons and connective tissue.
