Acupuncture
Pictured here is a non insertive needling technique of acupuncture. I use very few inserted needles, work gently and shallowly. Acupuncture is used to supplement or disperse points on the body to redirect it to it's natural homeostatic state.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a warming technique using the flos of the mugwort plant (artemisia vulgaris). It helps to warm and stimulate acupuncture points on the skin and especially useful for warming areas of the body that have been exposed to cold.
Custom Herbal Formulas
Herbal formulas work synergistically and complement acupuncture treatment. The Chinese herbal pharmacy includes herbs that are lab tested for pesticides and organically grown. By having a variety of loose herbs, formulas are easily customized to the patient's symptoms.
Pediatrics
Non-insertive child acupuncture, also known as Shonishin in Japan, is treatment for ages ranging from infants to teens. The techniques are gentle and effective for acute or chronic conditions such as common colds and flus or bedwetting and temper tantrums, for example. Without symptoms it is used as effective preventative medical treatment.
Cupping
Cupping is a method used to create suction on the skin to relieve stagnation. Common areas are the neck and upper back, low back, and legs.
Asian Bodywork
Shiatsu is a Japanese style of bodywork that focuses its techniques and approach on stimulating the acupuncture meridians. The techniques are similar to massage by involving pressurized and moving touch to affect muscles.
