Acupuncture is a branch of Chinese medicine that spans more than 2000 years. Fine, hair-like needles are inserted into the body at specific anatomical points shown to be effective in treating a variety of health conditions. The insertion and stimulation of these needles activates your bodyâs natural healing properties by increasing the flow of energy forces that stimulate blood and lymph flow, nourish and heal the tissues and support the body's systems.

Moxibustion or Moxa for short is commonly used along with acupuncture and is an ancient form of heat therapy. In Moxa, the ground up leaves of the plant Mugwort (Artemesia Vulgris) are used and can be rolled up into small cone-shaped pieces (about the size of a rice grain) and burned on an ointment or ginger placed directly on the skin for direct moxa. During indirect moxa, the mugwort is rolled into sticks and the smoldering moxa stick is held a few inches away from the skin during therapy.

Gua Sha An ancient Chinese secret, Gua Sha therapy is still practiced by many practitioners today. You may ask, "What is that?" Gua means to scrape or rub. Sha is a "reddish, elevated, millet-like skin rash' (aka petechiae). Sha is the term used to describe Blood stasis in the subcutaneous tissue before and after it is raised as petechiae. Gua Sha is one technique that intentionally raises a Sha rash or petechiae. It is a traditional ancient Chinese healing technique that dates back over two thousand years. Do you suffer from chronic pain? Excess systemic toxicity? Poor circulation? Lymphatic congestion? Inflammation? Fatigue? Infections? Physical or emotional stress? If so, then you will greatly benefit from Gua Sha treatment. The method of applying Gua Sha involves the layering of Gua Sha oil on the skin. The skin is then scraped in the area of discomfort or at times on the entire body using a specific Gua Sha tool depending on whether the treatment is for physical or emotional healing.
