Moxibustion:

Cupping:

Cupping is a traditional technique that has been used in many cultures. A vacuum is created within a glass cup by using heat and then placed on the body. The resulting sensation can be described as warming and a gentle pulling. The cups are can be used over different areas of the body to do variety of treatments, anywhere from relaxing muscle tension to aiding in constipation, to preventing the first signs of a cold or flu from getting worse. Cupping often leaves marks on the skin that look like bruises, but don't feel like bruises! Despite this patients keep coming back for more!

Gua sha:

Similar to cupping, Gua Sha increases the qi and blood flow to an area of tight musculature. Massage oil is applied to the skin, and pressure is applied using a smooth tool in a scraping motion. It can be described as a deep massage, and like cupping may leave marks on the skin. The benefits can be quite tremendous!
