A general session includes an assessment of your current condition, the treatment itself, and a talk with tips on how to stay healthy. Generally, Acupuncture treatments are augmented with Herbs for maximal effect.
Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities. When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and the body's life force to aid healing. Acupuncture and acupressure use the same points, but acupuncture employs needles, while acupressure uses the gentle but firm pressure of hands (and even feet).
Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy using moxa, or mugwort herb. Practitioners use moxa to warm regions and acupuncture points with the intention of stimulating circulation through the points and inducing a smoother flow of blood and qi. It help greatly on any circulation related issue like tommy ache, joint and musle pain, edma, cold feet even infertility.

The Chinese have been doing this since ancient times by using heat inside glass or bamboo cups. Nowadays, cupping sets use suction to create the vacuum. The vacuum inside the cups causes the blood to form in the area and help the healing in that area.
Cupping therapy releases toxins in your body. The suction from the cups can penetrate deep into your tissues causing the tissues to release harmful toxins. It triggers the lymphatic system, clears the blood vessels, and stretches and activates the skin.
Herbology is one of the more important modalities utilized in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Each herbal medicine prescription is a cocktail of many herbs tailored to the individual patient. Herbs re-balance the body toward health as well as supply nutrients to areas that need nourishment. Chinese herbs are prepared in a number of ways.
