TRADITIONAL
CHINESE MEDICINE
For 2000 years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has guided people toward balance, vitality, and longevity. It looks at a broad range of conditions and diseases, as well as the muscles, tendons, and nerves. In TCM, true healing begins by uncovering the root cause - not just treating symptoms. The goal with TCM is guiding you in restoring health with balanced living, mindful nutrition, and self-care.

What is Acupuncture?
By inserting a sterile needle into acupuncture points on the skin, the nervous system is stimulated to encourage natural healing, reduce or relieve pain and improve mood or relax the individual. Certain acupuncture points correspond with certain ailments, conditions or causes of pain.
Electroacupuncture
Acupuncture needles are attached to a device that generates electric pulses using small clips. The frequency and intensity are then adjusted based on the condition being treated. Several needles can be stimulated at on time.
Electroacupuncture can help:​
-
Relieve muscle spasms
-
Neurological disorders
-
Skin conditions
-
Acute nausea caused by medications
-
Lower blood pressure
-
Reduce heart disease
Gua Sha
Gua sha is a traditional Chinese therapy that involves using a smooth-edged instrument to apply pressure strokes on the skin, creating temporary red or purple spots called ‘sha.’ This is believed to release harmful factors, stimulate blood flow, and promote healing. It’s widely practiced in Vietnam (called cạo gió), Indonesia, and India. Research shows these spots have an anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting effect that lasts for days, providing relief from pain, stiffness, fever, nausea, and more. Gua sha is used for musculoskeletal pain and to treat or prevent conditions like the common cold, flu, bronchitis, asthma, and chronic pain or inflammation.
Tui Na massage, originating in China, is one of the four main branches of traditional Chinese medicine. The name comes from two actions: "tui" meaning "to push" and "na" meaning "to lift and squeeze." It uses techniques like acupressure, myofascial release, and sometimes osteopathic or chiropractic methods such as stretching and joint mobilization. Like acupuncture, Tui Na targets specific acupoints, but uses finger pressure instead of needles, and is often combined with acupuncture.
