Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been used for over 2000 years as part of a complete system of medicine that originated in China, known as Traditional Chinese Medicine. It involves the insertion of very thin, sterile, disposable needles into specific points on the body.

Moxibustion
The burning of the dried form of the herb mugwort indirectly over an acupuncture point. The heat generated from the burning moxa stimulates the flow of Qi and facilitates opening of stagnation, thus enhancing the life force.

Cupping
An ancient folk remedy used all around the world using wooden or glass cups suctioned on to the surface of the body. The induced suction encourages flow of Qi/Blood in order to break up stagnation.
