ADD-ON TREATMENTS
Used At Your Practitioner’s Discretion
MOXIBUSTION
YOUR PRACTITIONER'S TOOLS
ElectroAcupuncture – Acupuncture points are stimulated using a safe, gentle electrical current.
Moxibustion – This is the application of heat from burning a herb called mugwort (Ai Ye, or Moxa, a species of Artemesia) in order to warm the body, improve circulation and help the body heal.
Cupping – Glass cups are used to create a partial vacuum on the skin to increase the movement of Qi and circulation, relieve pain due to blood stagnation in the body and promote lymph flow.
Gua Sha – A gentle scraping of the skins surface using a Gua Sha tool to increase circulation, release heat and stagnation in superficial tissues. It can be used daily on the face to firm, tone, and life the skin.
Frequency-Specific Microcurrent – For certain conditions, we may add Frequency-Specific Microcurrent™ (FSM) to your acupuncture treatment. FSM supports healing by reducing inflammation and increasing blood flow to specific tissues using micro-amperage current.
