Chinese herbs offer an alternative approach to traditional Western medicine and focus on restoring harmony within the body. Cupping Cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that uses warmed glass jars to create vacuum-like suction on specific points of the body. This allows blood flow under the cup to the targeted area. Cupping is often used to alleviate pain, reduce stress, and support recovery from respiratory issues or muscular tension. The treatment may leave temporary marks or circular bruises on the skin, which typically fade in a few days. Thirty- and 45-minute appointments available. Moxibustion Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves burning dried mugwort, known as "moxa," near or on specific acupuncture points of the body to stimulate the body's energy flow, also know as "qi". This can be done directly on the body or near the body as an alternative needle-free treatment that contributes to pain management. Tui Na Tui Na is a traditional Chinese therapeutic massage technique that combines acupressure, stretching, and various hand movements to stimulate the flow of qi and promote healing. Tui Na focuses on addressing specific health issues, such as musculoskeletal pain, joint problems, and even certain internal conditions. It's often used alongside other Chinese medicine practices, like acupuncture and herbal therapy.
