Cupping is an ancient method which dates back to 300 A.D. Using fire and alcohol, we create a vacuum with the glass cups, which is a negative pressure; whereas massage is a positive pressure. We never touch the skin with a flame. Once a suction has occurred, cups can be moved, called gliding cups, or they can be stationary. Dark marks can be the result. This is called "sha". These can go away within 3-10 days. It is best to keep areas that have been cupping covered 24 hours after the treatment. What is Cupping Good For? Cupping loosens the muscles, encourages blood flow, activates the lymph system, and sedates the nervous system (and thus it can be effective for treatment of high blood pressure). It helps with neck pain, back pain, digestion, menstrual imbalances, respiratory issues (i.e. congestion in the lungs due to common cold and asthma), muscle stiffness, anxiety, migraines, fatigue, and cellulite. Cupping is often compared to feeling like massage, and is quite relaxing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606c69e7b1c93132f0be6310/1617792671854-C8ZYJTNXNJ23TP8ON7D0/1L9A4203.jpg FAQ - MOXA Moxa (also called Moxibustion) is the use of Mugwort. When burned above or on certain acupuncture points, it can add several benefits to treatment. Many People feel a sensation of warmth. Moxa works by stimulating the flow of blood and energy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606c69e7b1c93132f0be6310/1617792840070-66BPLPRSN15HSG54RTKA/1L9A4169.jpg FAQ - GUA SHA What is Gua Sha? Gua Sha is a method of using a "scraping tool", like a ceramic spoon or other smooth surfaced stone, on the skin. It helps to improve the blood circulation to the tissues scraped. Red spots are the result, called petechiae. The darker the area, the more it shows stagnation. What Does Gua Sha Do? Gua Sha aides the healing process an array of dis-eases. Neck, shoulder, and back pain; sciatica, and others nerve pain; migraines; and even colds and the flu. It works on the fascial tissues. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606c69e7b1c93132f0be6310/1617792947160-FN19D5XGCTPUWGE2AFK2/1L9A4242.jpg FAQ - NUTRITION & CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE Although people may be eating the very best diet, many times we are deficient in vitamins and minerals. This all affects our well-being. Body systems are evaluated to see where the body needs additional support and whether that be a Chinese Herbal Formula or supplement. Muscle testing is another modality that has proven to be a valuable tool because it is non-invasive and effective. It helps patients see what "stresses" they have in their life and environment, and how to alleviate them. I use Standard Process, MediHerb, and SolleNaturals products. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606c69e7b1c93132f0be6310/1617793021609-Z8WAKJHOU8ZZZLM3G1H3/1L9A4250.jpg FAQ - AROMA ACUPOINT THERAPY Aroma Acupoint Therapy (AAT) is a great way to help people who do not like needles or are very sensitive to needles. It is a safe and effective use of essential oils to complement acupuncture or can be used in place of. A treatment involves placing specific oils on corresponding acupuncture points to create a shift in the body to attain balance. More information can be found at www.aromaacupointtherapy.com
