Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting sterile needles at specific points to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. This treatment improves blood flow, releases endorphins, and balances the nervous system. Patients often experience deep relaxation during sessions that helps restore digestive function and reduce inflammation.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations use plant-based ingredients to address digestive imbalances. These non-addictive remedies target specific gastrointestinal issues without harmful side effects. We prescribe tested granule formulas that are easy to prepare and integrate with other treatment modalities for comprehensive care.
Tui Na Massage
Tui Na employs therapeutic techniques to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. This hands-on therapy breaks up scar tissue and enhances range of motion. Performed over clothing without oils, it complements acupuncture treatments for musculoskeletal and digestive system disorders.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping uses silicone cups to create suction that releases muscle tension and increases blood flow. This technique breaks up fascial adhesions and accelerates healing of soft tissues. Patients receive either stationary or gliding cupping applications tailored to their specific treatment needs.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha involves skin scraping to release metabolic waste and improve circulation. This technique reduces pain and speeds recovery from illness by breaking up crystalline deposits in muscle tissue. Visible red markings indicate treatment effectiveness and gradually fade over several days.
