Holistic Health Offerings

Acupuncture

Acupuncture stimulates the body’s innate healing response by targeting points along meridians corresponding to segments of the spinal cord and nerves. Needle insertion stimulates these nerves, activating reflex arcs and modulating nerve signals.  This prompts the release of neurochemicals like endorphins, reducing pain and promoting healing. Improved blood flow and localized effects enhance the healing process in the targeted areas.

Cupping

Cupping therapy consists of fire and glass cups or silicon cups to create suction on the skin, muscle, and fascial layers. By gently pulling the muscles and fascia upwards, it draws toxins to the surface of the skin where the immune system is better able to eliminate them. Cupping is often used to help with respiratory health and muscle tightness. It reduces pain and inflammation and restores balance in the flow of energy.

GUA SHA

Gua Sha is a healing technique involving the scraping of the skin with a smooth-edged tool to improve circulation. The process creates light bruising, which releases blocked energy and promotes healing. By increasing blood flow to the affected area, gua sha helps reduce inflammation and relieve muscle tension. The technique is often used to treat pain, respiratory issues, and improve overall well-being.

moxibustion

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese therapy that involves burning dried mugwort (moxa) or using an electric moxa tool near or on specific acupuncture points on the body. The slight heat generated by the burning moxa stimulates these points, enhancing the flow of qi and improving blood circulation. This technique is used to treat various conditions, such as pain, digestive disorders, & cold-related ailments, by promoting healing and restoring balance.

breathwork

Breathwork involves various breathing exercises and techniques designed to improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Scientifically proven benefits of breathwork include reduced stress and anxiety, enhanced focus and concentration, and improved cardiovascular health. Studies have shown that it can lower cortisol levels, increase heart rate variability, and promote relaxation by activating the parasympathetic nervous system.

mesotherapy

In mesotherapy, multiple tiny injections of a combination of low-dose pharmaceuticals, vitamins, etc. are delivered into the mesodermal layer of tissue under the skin with very thin needles. This therapy form contains elements from acupuncture and neural therapy, and is often applied in the body’s reflex zones. Numerous kinds of pain-conditions (musculoskeletal pain, headaches etc.), sports injuries and aesthetic issues can be treated.
