Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting sterile, single-use needles into the body to stimulate the natural healing response, promoting a healthy and balanced state. This therapy increases the flow of energy, blood, and lymphatic fluids.
Distal Acupuncture targets the limbs and scalp to promote healing, while Local Acupuncture involves inserting needles directly into the affected area. During Local Acupuncture, a trigger point response may occur, causing the stimulated muscle to spasm.
Balance Acupuncture
The Balance Method uses a system of acupuncture point selection based on the principles of the Five Elements and the I Ching. By using acupuncture points that are connected to each other in a specific way, practitioners of the Balance Method aim to restore balance to the body and relieve pain and other symptoms. This approach can be particularly effective for conditions such as migraines, joint pain, and digestive issues, and can often produce immediate results.
Moxa / Moxibustion
Moxa, also known as moxibustion, is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves burning dried mugwort leaves on or near the skin at specific acupuncture points or meridians. The heat generated by moxa is believed to stimulate the flow of qi (life force energy) in the body and promote healing.
Moxa can be used to treat a variety of conditions, such as chronic pain, digestive issues, and menstrual cramps. It is generally considered safe, but should only be performed by a qualified practitioner to ensure proper technique and minimize the risk of burns.
