Additional Therapies
• Cupping: glass cups are suctioned onto the body and allowed to sit for about 10 minutes. The cupping technique stimulates the flow of blood and Chi to the affected area. Excellent for releasing tension in muscles, especially the back and for lung congestion.
• Moxabustion: mugwort (a species of chrysanthemum) is an herb that is placed on the body or the tip of a needle to apply heat. The moxabustion provides further stimulation to a point and is a significant treatment for cold areas; good for preventing disease and keeping healthy.
• Gwa Sha: a porcelain spoon is used with oil to rub the skin. It helps to release stubborn tense upper back and shoulder area muscles.
• Tuina Massage: bodywork to specific areas for relief of congestion or stagnation in meridians and in muscles.
• Pressballs: tiny gold plated balls that are used mostly on ear points to extend a treatment, patients can usually keep these on for a few days; excellent therapy for addiction disorders. • Auricular (ear) Acupuncture: tiny needles are placed on ear points to enhance treatment; acudetox to help with medication withdrawal.
