Body Acupuncture:

We use sterile pre-packaged disposable needles, of the highest quality.
 

There are 14 meridians in the human body upon which sit over 400 acupuncture points. Each point retains a specific quality and function, along with specific associations to various organs, systems, glands and hormonal release. Depending on the pattern of disease to be treated and the root cause of the illness, the acupuncturist will treat any number of these points.

Auricular Acupuncture:

Auricular (or Ear) Acupuncture is a specialized therapy where acupuncture points on the ear are treated using needles to help relieve many chronic conditions, as well as many acute conditions such as stress, TBD etc...

There are as many as two hundred acupuncture points on the outer ear. The outer ear acts as a switchboard to the brain. Each acupoint on the ear, when treated, triggers electrical in the ear, via the brain to the specific area of the body that is being treated. Therefore if you have a painful knee by treating the "knee" acupoint on the ear, it would help alleviate pain in the knee.

Benefits:
Auricular Acupuncture is used to treat many different conditions plus it may act as a preventative medicine. There are no side effects and it can be used to treat parts of the body that can't be directly treated for some reason. Examples: inflammation and or bruising due to injury or trauma.

Scalp Acupuncture:

The head or scalp region is divided into several areas. We needle in specific areas along the corresponding treatment line to treat more specific and serious (complicated/chronic) disease.
-Disease affecting one limb or both ie..no motion due to stroke/paralysis
-Disease of internal organs ie..hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and urticaria

Electro Acupuncture:

Electro-Acupuncture is the use of low frequency electrically stimulated needles for continuous stimulation of acupoints.

Once needles have been inserted small electrodes are attached and a low frequency electric current is passed through to strengthen and alter the nature of stimulation. The passing of this current is very effective and greatly enhances traditional acupuncture. This method is used most often for pain, muscolo-skeletal, nerve, epilepsy, muscle atrophy   and menstrual conditions.

Chinese Massage (Tui Na):

Tui Na is a comprehensive system of therapeutic massage that uses different strokes applied to acupoints, channels and muscle groups. The strokes and techniques stimulate an exchange of Qi energy between the practitioner and the patient, and this is the secret healing power of Tui Na

Moxabustion:

Moxabustion treats and prevents diseases by applying heat, generated from the herb mugwort, to points or certain locations of the human body. The material used is mainly " moxa - wool " in the form of a cone or stick. The heat warms the chi and Blood in the channels and is therefore useful in the treatment of disease and maintenance of health.  At other times the two have a synergistic effect.

T.D.P Lamp:

A TDP lamp is similar to a heat lamp, however it features a round plate coated with minerals consisting of 33 elements essential to the human body. When the mineral plate is heated, it emits a special band of electromagnetic waves that coincide with the wavelengths and intensity of the electromagnetic waves released and consequently absorbed by the human body. This absorbed electromagnetic energy has been found to yield therapeutic effects on the human body by:

• Helping to generate various beneficial biochemical stimuli that the body may lack due to illness or injury.
   
• Accelerating the decomposition of injured structures, such as bad cells.
   
•  Enhancing the body's function of adjustment and immunity. With its relaxing, warm temperature, the TDP lamp is very effective for temporary relief of minor muscular and joint pain and improvement of local, superficial blood circulation.

Cupping:

Cupping is a method of treating disease caused by local congestion. A partial vacuum is created in jars, usually by means of heat, which are then applied to the skin, drawing up the underlying tissues to improve blood circulation and unblock congestion. Today, cups made of glass manual pump cups, plastic or bamboo are by far the most common. They are available in many sizes, and selected according to the skin surface and method of treatment.

Diet Therapy :
