Moxibustion



Moxibustion is the art of heating Ai Ye (mugwort) over acupuncture points or areas of the body.

Moxibustion acts like a warm laser penetrating heat deeply into the body, nourishing and stimulating the point or meridian.

Using moxibustion has been shown beneficial in healing injuries, clearing illness and enhancing general health.

 

Gua Sha

The practitioner applies massage oil to your skin, and then uses the tool to repeatedly scrape your skin in a downward motion.

Gua Sha works with conditions such as headache, migraine, neck, shoulder, back, and knee pain, as well as acute diseases such as fever, flu, earaches, asthma and bronchitis in children and adults.
