Acupuncture
​
Acupuncture is the insertion of single use sterile needles into the skin at precise points to cause a stimulus for the body to begin the healing response.
​
Acupuncture has many benefits, including stress reduction and pain relief; however, psychologically, acupuncture is also reported to increase the levels of various chemicals in the central nervous system – enkephalin, epinephrine, endorphin, serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.

Moxabustion
​
Moxibustion is a form of heat therapy in which dried plant materials called “moxa” are burned on or very near the surface of the skin.

​ The intention is to warm and invigorate the flow of Qi in the body and dispel certain pathogenic influences.

Specific health benefits of moxibustion can include: Stimulating circulation and improving the flow of qi.
​
Expelling cold and dampness from the body (“warming the meridians”) to relieve back pain and pain from arthritis and menstrual cramping.

Cupping
​
Cupping therapy, like acupuncture, is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on the skin for a short amount of time to create suction.  This  treatment is used for multiple reasons, including to reduce pain and inflammation, improve blood flow, relaxation and well-being. Often used following sports injuries or to treat over worked muscles by reducing lactic acid build up.
