Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
The basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) philosophy and Acupuncture theory is holistic and acknowledges the existence of a primary motivating force behind all life, energy meridians flowing through the body, which form a complex network.
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese method, which involves the use of fine needles and heat to promote healing in the body. It has been used for hundreds of centuries and has seen a surge in popular medicine treatments for a variety of disorders, including muscular skeletal problems, stress and to relieve pain.
Reflexology Foot Zones are like a healthy information map connected to the internal organs of your body. Regular acupressure on these reflex points can have a benefit to the body’s health including relaxation, increasing blood circulation and helping to flush out toxins accumulating in our systems.
Chinese cupping therapy is an ancient healing method that effectively accelerates blood circulation, expels patho-logical wind and dampness and relieves pain.
