Acupuncture
Acupuncture Needles vary in sizes and length. These needles are made from stainless steel. The tips are dipped in stainless steel or copper. Insertion is quick. Turning the needle once in place regulates the flow of the Chi ( pronounced "chee") energy. Any discomfort that may occur is minimal and can be compared to that of pulling a single hair from the skin.

Cupping
Cupping is one of the traditional treatments to an acupuncture point or effected area of the body. Applying a heated cup to the skin and allowing it to cool will cause swelling of the tissues beneath and an increase in the flow of blood in the area. This will draw out excess heat from the diseased organs nearby and promote healing.

Moxibustion
Moxibustion is achieved by applying an ignited artemisiae cone on the skin or ignited artemisiae (moxa) stick over the skin to stimulate an acupuncture point or affected part of the body. According to Chinese medical theory, the body's heat (energy) needs to be balanced. If there is excess or lack of heat (energy), illness or disease will result.

Ear Acupuncture
The ears contain a hundred acupressure acupuncture points. Meridian endings for every organ of the body are located in the outer flesh of the ears. These are blocked meridians. By pressing them you are opening up the energy blocks and stimulating the corresponding organ. You might find them slightly sensitive to the touch.

Electro Acupuncture
Used for additional nerve stimulation of the acupuncture points and meridians. Electrodes are attached to the acupuncture needles. An acupuncture stimulator emits a low intensity electrical current. This current is passed through to the acupuncture needles into the meridian endings associated with that internal organ.
