Wellness Care

Achieving better overall wellness requires a holistic approach, incorporating both dietary and lifestyle changes. However, when it comes to alternative therapies that can assist with this, many of us turn to the ancient Chinese practices of acupuncture, gua sha, cupping, and moxibustion. These treatments are used in conjunction with one another to influence and rebalance vital energy points in the body. Scientific studies have suggested that acupuncture can improve physical and mental well-being by reducing stress, releasing hormones during treatment to relieve pain, and improving circulation throughout the body for healthier cardiovascular function. Gua sha involves carefully scraping an area of the skin to increase blood flow, while cupping is a practice that utilizes heat or suction cups applied directly on the skin. The purpose of moxibustion is to increase mobility in joints and muscles using heated sticks that emit herbal vapors into specific areas. These therapies focus not only on physical wellness but also take into account mental well-being, making them a complete package for those looking to improve their overall health.
