Acupuncture is the insertion of small filliform needles into specific points to regulate and bring balance to the body. Only sterile, single use needles are used. Cupping therapy is the use of suction to relieve stagnation and increase Qi and Blood flow in certain areas of the body. Glass cups combined with heat, or plastic cups, are placed on the skin and tissue is drawn into the cup.
The cups are then left stationary or moved across an area of the body. Guasha, or scraping, is used to clear heat and release certain areas of the body by scraping a massage tool over the skin. Herbal formulas can help support acupuncture treatments or address a different issue.
Herbs can be taken as powders, pills, capsules or used in their raw form.
