What is Traditional Acupuncture?
Traditional Chinese Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves the insertion of sterile needles into specific points called acupoints and its use dates back to over 4000 years ago. Acupoints are connected by meridians through which qi, the body’s vital energy flows. By stimulating these points, acupuncture can help rebalance the flow of qi, and improve well-being and health. Needles inserted into acupoints can have a wide range of physiological and neurological effects, capable of altering the physical and emotional state of a person. Acupuncture can send stimuli to the central and peripheral nervous system, which explains why acupuncture can treat a wide number of illnesses.
What is Cupping Therapy?
Traditional Chinese cupping is a form of alternative therapy that involves placing glass or silicone cups on the skin to create a vacuum, drawing blood to the surface of the skin in specific areas.
