Cupping
Cupping is an ancient technique practiced in many cultures that involves placing a specialized cup on the skin and creating suction to draw superficial tissue into the cup. This method can be either stationary or glided across the body. Cupping promotes fresh blood flow to the area and improves circulation. Traditional cupping, often called “fire cupping,” uses heat to create suction in glass cups, while modern variations utilize pumps for convenience. This is just one of the other acupuncture therapies available to enhance your wellness and overall healing.

Moxibustion
Moxibustion, one of the other acupuncture therapies, involves heating acupuncture points with smoldering mugwort herb, known as moxa. This technique stimulates circulation, counteracts cold and dampness in the body, and promotes the smooth flow of blood and qi. Moxibustion is a safe, non-invasive method that can be used alone or in conjunction with acupuncture treatment.

Gua Sha
Gua Sha, or scraping therapy, uses a specialized tool to apply pressure or strokes to lubricated areas of the body, intentionally creating therapeutic petechiae. Research has shown that Gua Sha significantly enhances surface micro-perfusion, stimulating immune and anti-inflammatory responses. This technique is especially effective for treating both acute and chronic pain, as well as upper respiratory conditions.
