Acupuncture
Acupuncture utilizes the insertion of tiny needles along the body's energy pathways to restore natural balance and improve health. Research shows that acupuncture can help relieve a wide range of physical and psychological conditions. It can increase the body’s ability to release its own natural painkillers; endorphins and serotonin. A course of treatment benefits many ailments including musculoskeletal pain, migraine headaches, stress, anxiety, depression, sleep issues, allergies, skin conditions and asthma. Reduced stress and increased overall energy are noticeable, positive side effects of any acupuncture session.

Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a form of therapy that involves burning a special blend of herbs close to an acupuncture point. The heat carries the healing properties of the herbs into the point to create a therapeutic effect.
Fire Cupping
Suction created using small glass cups may be used to simulate a deep tissue massage. By oxygenating the tissue and pulling muscle off bone, cupping brings new blood and energy to an area. This helps to open the channels, relieve the muscles and release pathogenic factors. Traditional glass fire cups are used in this gentle and powerful circulating therapy.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha uses an instrument with a smooth edge to press-stroke or scrape lubricated skin in one direction for the purpose of increasing circulation and releasing stagnant blood and toxins. When more blood and oxygen flow to the area that is treated, the body responds more efficiently and healing can take place.
