Moxibustion
Moxibustion involves the heating of acupuncture points with smoldering mugwort herb (known as moxa). Moxibustion stimulates circulation, counteracts cold and dampness in the body, and promotes the smooth flow of blood and qi. This safe, non-invasive technique may be used alone, but it is generally used in conjunction with acupuncture treatment.
Cupping
Cupping is an ancient technique, used in many cultures, in which a special cup is applied to the skin and held in place by suction. The suction draws superficial tissue into the cup, which may either be left in place or moved along the body. Cupping brings fresh blood to the area and helps improve circulation. Traditional cupping, sometimes referred to as “fire cupping," uses heat to create a vacuum-like suction inside of glass cups. In modern times, cups that use a small pump to create suction have also been introduced.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE is a series of treatments which will tighten and uplift the face, the neck, and the abdomen. It strengthens and balances the body, thus maximizing health and wellness. It is a synthesis of acupuncture, flower remedies, dietary modification, supplementation, and self care. These treatment elements are combined in a protocol that is custom blended for each individual.
BEAUTY is so much more that the absence of lines. Beauty is vitality. Beauty is skin glowing with health, a spark of spirit shining through the eyes and the sense of self that animates a person. Faces are the reflections of the individual’s life. The eyes may be the mirror of the soul, but the face is a canvas of the individual’s complex life within. Because it treats the whole person, cosmetic acupuncture also addresses the health an well being of the body as well as the face, neck and abdomen.
