Acupuncture is a 2000 year old, constantly evolving practice, rooted in Taoist philosophy. Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles shallowly into the skin to stimulate specific points along the body. The needles are always sterile and single-use.

Cupping is an ancient tradition, used historically across various cultures, in which glass (or silicone) cups are gently suctioned to the skin to promote blood flow, stimulate lymphatic flow, and relieve areas of tension and stagnation.

Think of it like an inverse massage.

Cosmetic Acupuncture, also commonly referred to as Facial Acupuncture, focuses mainly on the aesthetic condition of the skin and face, and may include the insertion of ultra-thin sterilized needles, gua sha, cupping, and light massage. It can increase the production of collagen, increase blood flow to the area, as well as other benefits.

Moxibustion involves burning of dried matter from the plant Mugwort (Artemesia vulgaris, Ai Ye) near or on the skin to bring warmth and promote blood flow to both specific areas on the body and to the body as a whole.

Gua Sha is an ancient therapeutic technique which involves the use of a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape the skin to promote blood flow and relieve pain and stagnation.

Plants can create extremely healing, potent, and gentle medicine when taken the correct way. Herbal medicine involves the use of various parts of specific plants, taken in a variety of forms, to target specific issues, both acute and chronic.
