What are other tools in Chinese Medicine?

Nutrition: We educate our patients to use food as powerful medicine.  We discuss the value of eating seasonal whole food, food that benefits your constitution, as well as food that treats ailments.

Moxibustion: By burning mugwort, we add heat and energy to specific body parts or acupuncture points.  The therapeutic value of adding heat is extensive.  It can resolve ailments that are cold in nature such as certain menstrual disorders, chronic low back pain, arthritis, digestive ailments as well as others.

Cupping: We create a vacuum within the glass cup by quickly inserting fire then removing it.  We suction the cup on the skin.  This creates blood movement under the skin.  It is excellent for relieving tense muscles, old traumas, pulls common cold pathogens to the surface and feels great.

Gua Sha: A porcelain spoon is used to scrape the skin, causing friction to pull pathogens to the surface.

Tuina: The Chinese Medicine form of manual therapy to relieve physical trauma and pain.

Tai Chi: A form of flowing movement that supports health and well being.

Qi Gong: Breath exercises that focus on free flow of qi, or energetic life force.
