Acupuncture
Vital energy known as “qi” moves within the body along 12 energy meridians. Acupuncture stimulates points that connect with these meridians, by placing needles at specific points along the body, thus easing blockages in the flow of “qi” and promoting health.
Cupping Therapy
Special glass cups are placed on the body using a vacuum technique. Its purpose is to help remove deep tissue blockages by stimulating the flow of blood and Qi (energy) to bring them to the superficial layer to be dispersed.
It is used to relieve Sciatica, Sore Muscle Pain, Neck Pain and to mobilize the Immune system to assist with body system disorders such as Respiratory or Digestive disorders. Cupping treatment may be done on its own, or within an acupuncture treatment.
Cupping and Acupressure Massage
Cupping Massage is a treatment combining cupping therapy with back massage. Glass cups are applied to the skin similar to cupping therapy and moved up and down the back in a massaging motion. It is also called “Moving Cup Therapy” It can help to move your body enerby, release toxins from your body trunk, and stimulate organ reflection points on your back.

It is based on the principles of Chinese Medicine, which involves the insertion of very thin disposable needles into the acupuncture points on the face. This superficial insertion will increase the local circulation to the face and stimulate collagen production, which will fill out the lines and give firmness to the skin for a healthy, glowing complexion.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
