Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine

Acupuncture

Using very thin, sterile needles, acupuncture stimulates and improves the flow of Qi, or life-force or energy, through specific meridian points on your body. Traditional Chinese Medicine states that your overall health is determined by the quality of Qi flowing through these meridian pathways. If there are blockages or excess energy along these paths, acupuncture helps balance and harmonize the flow so your body can express better health. Benefits of acupuncture include pain relief, stress reduction, relaxation, and more.

Cupping

Depending on your specific issue, different cups may be used: hard cups or softer silicone cups. They are placed over acupuncture points, or other areas of concern, and the cups create suction to draw fresh blood into the area to help the body relax and heal. Cupping feels amazing  while cleansing the body, improving circulation, and strengthening the Qi.

Gua Sha

Loosely translated “to scrap, push, or rub”, Gua Sha uses a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape areas of the body where there is stagnant Qi or inflammation to help increase circulation and promote healing. This relaxing technique soothes muscles and connective tissue to help smooth scars, increase circulation, and promote overall well-being.

Chinese Herbal Consulation

Depending on your medical history and current symptoms, Chinese herbs in the form of teas or capsules might be recommended to help your body move toward quicker toward wellness.

Sound Therapy

Sound healing is an ancient practice of immersing yourself in beautiful sounds of crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, and more. It involves laying on a yoga mat with pillows, blankets, and an eye mask lightly sprinkled with a premium Young Living essential oil blend. After a short session of gentle spinal stretches, you will quickly be transported to a relaxing healing space as you are surrounded by the ancient sounds and healing vibrations and special diffused oils. Many people leave feeling relaxed and balanced and report amazing sleep after a session.
