Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine, sterile, stainless steel needles into specific points on the body. These points help the body use its own abilities to heal. It helps to increase circulation, reduce inflammation and pain, and improve overall health.

Moxibustion

Moxibustion is a technique that is often used in conjunction with acupuncture. It involves burning the herb mugwort on top of the needles or another medium on the skin. It helps to increase circulation, reduce pain, and bolster immunity. It can also help tremendously with women’s health issues and in pregnancy.

Cupping

Cupping is a technique involving the application of a glass or plastic cup to the skin.

Cupping can also be used to help reduce symptoms of the common cold, fevers, and chest congestion.
