Services We Provide
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is part of Chinese Medicine that has been practiced for over 2000 years.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of hair-thin needles into the skin on acupuncture points.
Acupuncture points are found along meridians/channels that circulate life energy, also known as Qi.
The purpose of acupuncture is to restore the flow of qi and balance disharmonies found within the body.
There are over 500 acupuncture points in the body, all with different functions and actions to treat to bast variety of conditions.
Fire Cupping
Cupping is a form of massage therapy which decompresses soft tissues using vacuum suction, unlike other forms of massage that compresses soft tissues. During cupping, the cup gently sucks to your skin and lifts underlying soft tissue into the cup.
Facial Rejuvenation with red Light Treatment
Facial Acupuncture is a painless method of reducing the signs of aging. By inserting hair-thin, tiny acupuncture needles into points on the face and scalp, which increases collagen production (goodbye fine lines), increase circulation (goodbye puffiness), and it stimulates a more radiant, even complexion.
Facial Cupping
Facial cupping is meant to increase blood circulation and stimulate the facial cells that are responsible for collagen production. In turn, this can brighten your skin, minimize the appearance of scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and tone your chin, jawline, and neck by decreasing puffiness.Facial cups are typically smaller and softer. They’re used to gently pull the skin away from deeper layers of fascia. This increases blood flow to the area and rejuvenates the skin without leaving cup marks behind.
Fertility
Acupuncture has been found to be beneficial in regulating the menstrual cycles, increasing the blood flow to the uterus and the ovaries, thickening the uterine lining (endometrium) and helps with endometrial receptor expression and reducing stress.
Acupuncture helps improve implantation rates and provides excellent support for patients undergoing assisted reproductive treatments such as IUI/IVF.
Auricular Treatments
Ear seeds are small seeds, on a tiny band-aid, used to stimulate acupuncture points in the ear. The seeds traditionally come from an herb called vaccaria but beads, pellets or magnets are often used as well.
The process of stimulating the body by using points on the ear, it's called auriculotherapy.
Auriculotherapy it's based on the same general principal as acupuncture, the seeds are placed on points to promote the flow of Qi, remove blockages and stimulate your nervous system to help with a variety of health conditions.
