ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is the gentle insertion of very fine needles into targeted points on the body to stimulate healing processes in the body and emotional wellbeing, restoring homeostasis. This occurs by stimulating the peripheral nervous system, which increases blood circulation to decrease pain and inflammation, activates the endocrine system, and calms the nervous system, balancing the body and mood. Each patient is assessed and diagnosed based on patterns in the body, and acupuncture points are selected according to their unique diagnosis. The primary acupuncture meridians are each associated with an organ and emotion, allowing treatments to target physiological or emotional imbalances, as well as pain located along those pathways.
CUPPING
Cupping is the application of glass or plastic cups by using a flame or a pump to create a vacuum. By decompressing the skin and underlying tissues, it brings a fresh blood supply to the area, aiding in fluid metabolism. Increasing blood circulation resupplies the tissues with oxygen and other nutrients, and clears cellular (inhibitory) waste products. This can help with injuries, chronic pain, muscle soreness and fatigue from exercise, and can even help respiratory issues by boosting the immune system.
FACIAL REJUVENATION
Acupuncture facial rejuvenation is a natural alternative to cosmetic surgery and injections. It is more than just a cosmetic procedure. While the focus is on your skin, you will be assessed and treated according to your Chinese Medicine diagnosis. Benefits include increased firmness and muscle tone, decreased fine lines, increased circulation which brings moisture and nutrients to the face, reduced puffiness, increased collagen production, hormonal balancing, and stress reduction. Facial acupuncture is followed by a gentle gua sha treatment. For optimal results, facial rejuvenation treatments are done weekly for 10-12 visits.
