When the cup is applied to the skin’s surface the suction created by the vacuum aids in pulling toxic build from the muscle tissue. As pathogenic toxins are released from the underlying tissues and brought to the surface of the skin the body is then able to eliminate them much more efficiently. This also allows fresh, oxygenated blood to circulate more freely and more efficiently nourish the body’s tissues. Learn more by visiting out Cupping page.
The power of an Herbal Medicine lies in the fact that it has been designed specifically for the individual in order to restore health and balance by treating the root of a client’s condition, not just masking symptoms. The formula prescribed maybe in the form of a tincture, pill or raw or powdered herb blend which is then prepared as a tea. Herbs are considered to have few or no side effects compared to western pharmaceuticals. Learn more by visiting our Herbal Medicine page.
Electrical stimulation involves attaching electrical components to some of the acupuncture needles that will be used on your body. By agitating the needles through the electrical current, they can resonate into your tissues and muscles for a deeper treatment. Rather than stimulating the needles by hand, our acupuncturist can control the electrical frequency that is attached to the needles and help to deeply affect your qi and pinpoint your necessary treatment areas.
