ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture involves inserting fine sterile needles in specific acupuncture points to stimulate the correct flow of qi (energy) in your body and restore balance. This process is hygienic and safe. Many people find acupuncture treatment relaxing and tend to fall asleep.

福
TUINA

Tuina is an ancient Chinese medical massage therapy. Tuina enables a more harmonious flow of qi through your body, allowing the body to naturally heal itself. It can be used to treat acute and chronic conditions. Tuina is beneficial for all age groups and is the preferred method chosen for treating children.

Cupping

Cupping is a therapeutic treatment effective in relieving muscular tension, aches and pain. Glass cups are briefly lit by a flame to create a strong suction, then gently applied to the skin’s surface. This suction encourages new blood to flow through to the muscles and tissue to help with the healing process.

壽
MOXIBUSTION

Moxibustion is a therapeutic method that involves burning a herb called mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) and applying the stimulation of warmth and heat generated by the herb to specific acupuncture points. The heat penetrates areas of the body to improve the circulation of qi and blood.
