What Are The Benefits?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is based on a concept of balanced vital energy, that is believed to flow throughout the body. The various treatments we offer within Traditional Chinese Medicine assist in regulating a person’s spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical balance.
Treatments
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an incredibly safe, PAINLESS, and effective way to improve overall health. Tiny, hair thin needles are placed on the body to balance your natural energy as well as treat and prevent several medical conditions.
Key Benefits
Acupuncture therapy can treat many health conditions by helping the body release endorphins and regulate serotinin, which are key in allowing the natural flow of energy in the body.
Needle Free (NANO) Acupuncture
Needle Free Acupuncture uses the latest patented nano technology and the nano chip uses your own natural body heat to restore the natural flow
of qi and blood, removing blockages and thus resulting in wellness.
Key Benefits
- Increase energy.
- Enduce relaxation.
- Look younger.
- Decrease wrinkles.
- Improve circulation.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
This natural non-surgical anti-aging treatment effectively reduces the signs of aging by stimulating collagen and elastin production in the skin.
Key Benefits
- Improve skin appearance.
- Fill out lines.
- Firm the skin.
- Increase local blood circulation.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that involves the burning of mugwort - a small, spongy herb, to promote healing with acupuncture. The purpose of moxibustion, as with most forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is to strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of qi, and maintain general health.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping is a type of alternative therapy that originated in China. It involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The suction may facilitate healing with blood flow.
It increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.
Many Taoists believe that cupping helps balance yin and yang, or the negative and positive, within the body. Restoring balance between these two extremes is thought to help with the body’s resistance to pathogens as well as its ability to increase blood flow and reduce pain.
Key Benefits
- Increase blood flow.
- Reduce Pain.
- Balance yin and yang (negative and positive, within the body).
Treatments for:
- Shingles
- Facial Paralysis
- Cough & Dyspnea
- Acne
- Lumber disk herniation
- Cervical Spondylosis
- Among others
Gua Sha Therapy
Gua Sha is a Traditional Chinese healing method in which a trained professional uses a smooth-edged tool to stroke your skin while they press on it. This motion raises small, red, rash-like dots that show under your skin called petechiae. People use Gua Sha to treat chronic pain all over their body. They often do it alongside other complementary treatments like herbal medicine, massage, acupuncture, and heat therapy.
This process is believed to help blood flow and create a “lifting” effect on your skin, which some say may help lessen toxins in your body and promote healing. You might also have Gua Sha done on your face, but that process would be gentler.
Key Benefits
Can be helpful for some conditions, including:
- Hepatitis B
- Migraines
- Muscle Pains
- Perimenopausal Symptoms
Tui Na Therapeutic Massage
Tuina or tui-na (pronounced twee-nah) massage originated in ancient China and is believed to be the oldest system of bodywork. It’s one of the four main branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine, along with Acupuncture, Qi gong, and Chinese Herbal Medicine.
Tui Na massage stimulates the flow of qi to promote balance and harmony within the body using many of the same principles of acupuncture. It’s like acupuncture in the way it targets specific acupoints, but practitioners use fingers instead of needles to apply pressure to stimulate these points.
