improve elasticity and collagen production of the skin and support self-healing of the body.

Cupping & Gua Sha

Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture

Shonishin Pediatric Treatment

During a cupping treatment, a flame is used to create a vacuum inside glass cups which are then placed on the patient’s skin in areas where treatment is required. The suction created stimulates the flow of Qi and blood in the area, thereby clearly stagnation within the meridians and promoting the body’s self-healing. Cupping is most commonly used in the treatment of muscular aches and pains.  


Gua Sha or ‘scraping pressing’ is a traditional treatment in which a tool (traditionally a Chinese ceramic soup spoon) made of either jade or plastic, is pressed and scraped along the skin to stimulate blood flow. Gua Sha is used to help releasing stubborn knots, or stagnation, in the muscles, as well as more general stiffness and pain.

Shonishin Pediatric Treatment

Shonishin Pediatric Treatment

Shonishin is a style of acupuncture therapy specially designed for babies and children.

Because the Qi of children is so easy to access, Shonishin does not use needles, but gentle blunt tools to massage, tap or brush on acupuncture points and meridians without penetrating the skin. Because it is so pleasant and relaxing, most children enjoy the experience.
 

Shonishin is a great way to keep your children healthy, balanced and boost their constitution and have a positive impact on common symptoms such as weak immune system, frequent illnesses,  colics, night terrors, bed wetting, digestive health, hyperactivity, behavioural issues.

Ear acupuncture is a quick and easy treatment that is particularly good at  helping to overcome addictions from smoking, alcohol and drugs, for relaxation and to lose weight.

Moxibustion

Shonishin Pediatric Treatment

Auricular Acupuncture

A traditional part of Chinese medicine, it is used alongside Acupuncture, in which the herb Moxa (Mugwort, or Artemisia vulgaris) is burnt either directly on the skin of the patient or on top of the needle at specific acupuncture points or along a meridian. 


In more recent years it has also been prepare as a cigar-shaped moxa stick which is burnt near the skin. The heat produced form the burning of moxa permeates the skin,  creating a warming, soothing sensation. Moxa is not appropriate in every treatment and will therefore be used at the discretion of your practitioner.
