Restoring Health and Wellness through Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine

Services

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient medical system which has been proven to be a safe and effective method of health care. By activating the body's own natural healing abilities, acupuncture can both preserve and restore health and wellness, as it simultaneously addresses both a condition and its root cause.

Treatment

Facial Cosmetic/Rejuvenation Acupuncture

Cosmetic/rejuvenation acupuncture offers a natural, holistic approach to improving skin health and appearance. Some of the key benefits of facial acupuncture include: 

Stimulation  of collagen producction and elastin improving skin elasticity, reducing the appereance of fine lines and wrinkles. Improves circulation increasing blood flow to the face delivering essential nutrients and oxigen to skin cells. This enhanced circulation gives the skin a healthy, radiant glow and promotes cellular repair. Reduces puffiness and tightens skin, draining excess fluids and reducing inflammation, which can minimize puffiness around the eyes and jawline, giving the face a more sculped and youthful look. Improve hormonal balance and reduces stress resulting in a clearer and more radiant skin. Facial acupuncture treats the whole body system, addressing the root cause of premature aging or skin issues by stimulating the body's own ability to heal and restore.Facial acupuncture promotes gradual, long lasting changes in the skin, making it a preferred choice for those seeking a more natural approach.

Typical results include the disappearance of fine facial expression lines and a visible reduction of deeper ones, less sagginess, and lifting of “droopy” eyelids.

Treatment

Nano and Micro-Needling

Micro-Needling is the insertion of very fine short needles into the skin for the purpose of rejuvenation. Micro-Needling creates micro-channels in the skin. When those channels are created the skin's own repair response is to start producing collagen and elastin, this is to heal that controlled injury that was just created. That in turn makes our skin tighter and smoother.

It is important to realize that micro-needling is not a quick fix, as it involves the growth of new skin. It can take several treatments for a person to see the full results of the procedure.

Nano-Needling: nano-needling is an innovative, non-invasive transdermal serum delivery system designed to rejuvenate your skin and remedy many common issues like lack of tone, uneven texture, excessive pigmentation, scarring, and loss of elasticity. The benefits of this serum infusion treatment include pigmentation reduction, increased cell turnover, skin rejuvenation and an immediate glow with no downtime.

If you are concerned about fine lines & wrinkles, swelling, or sagging skin, then nano-needling is for you. If your skincare concerns include deep wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks or deep acne scars, then micro-needling would be the treatment for that.

 

Treatments

Cupping

Cupping is a powerful detoxifying, pain relieving and energy building technique. The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system (which makes it an excellent treatment for high blood pressure and many other conditions). Cupping is used to relieve back pain, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, and rheumatism among other disorders.

Treatment

Moxibustion

Moxibustion treats and prevents diseases by applying heat to points or certain locations of the human body. The heat warms the Qi and Blood in the channels and is, therefore, useful in the treatment of disease and maintenance of health. The material used is mainly “moxa wool” (Artemisa Vulgaris which is a species of chrysanthemum) in the form of a cone or stick. For centuries, moxibustion and acupuncture have been combined in clinical practice to successfully treat common illnesses.

Treatment

Herbal Medicine

Herbal Medicine is an extraordinarily valuable resource for healing that has also been in existence for thousands of years. Much like acupuncture, herbal supplements possess the ability to promote the body’s natural functions while addressing the root cause of imbalance and disease.

Treatment

Auriculotherapy

Auriculotherapy is often described as reflexology for the ear. It is typically considered a form of acupuncture. Instead, there are hundreds of points on the ear that are believed to represent a micro-system of the body, with points for areas both physical and emotional. The stimulation of these points is known as Auriculotherapy.

Auriculotherapy has its roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Just as this ancient healing art defines acupuncture points on the body for treatment of various conditions, similar points are defined on the ear. The ear is actually a micro-map of the entire body (an inverted fetus), with all body parts represented. Thus, all parts of the body can be treated by means of the external ear. Proponents believe that auriculotherapy works because many of the nerve endings in the ear connect to hormonal parts of the brain and organs within the body.

Each spot on the ear is stimulated to treat specific problems, they can directly target areas to treat various health conditions. These points will be treated with various treatment methods such as acupuncture needles, ear seeds, laser, or mild electrical stimulation. Electrical stimulation has the advantage of also providing electrical detection of active points for precise treatment.

 

Electroacupuncture

Electroacupuncture is a form of acupuncture where a small electric current is passed between pairs of acupuncture needles. This practice augments the use of regular acupuncture, can restore health and well-being and is particularly good for treating pain.

Treatments

GUA SHA

Gua Sha is a straightforward technique commonly used in Asia. In Gua Sha, the skin is pressured, in strokes, by a round-edged instrument; this, in Western terms, extravasates blood and metabolic waste congesting the surface tissues and muscles, promoting normal circulation and metabolic processes. By resolving fluid and blood stasis, Gua Sha is valuable in the treatment of pain, in the prevention and treatment of acute infectious illness, upper respiratory and digestive problems, and many acute or chronic disorders.
