Elements of
Traditional Chinese Medicine
TMC
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is the most commonly used to treat pain.
HERBS
Chinese herbal medicine is part of a larger healing system called Traditional Chinese Medicine. Herbs are prescribed to restore energy balance to the opposing forces of energy - Yin and Yang - that run through invisible channels in the body.
​
CUPPING AND GUA SHA
Cupping is the term applied to a technique that uses small glass cups or bamboo jars as suction devices that are placed on the skin to disperse and break up stagnation and congestion by drawing congested blood, energy or other humors to the surface.
​
Gua sha is the practice of using a tool to apply pressure and scrape the skin to relieve pain and tension. This action causes light bruising, which often appears as purple or red spots known as petechiae or sha. The name gua sha — pronounced gwahshah — comes from the Chinese word for scraping.
Electric Stimulation Therapy: Enhancing Healing and Pain Relief
Electric stimulation therapy, also known as electro-acupuncture, is an advanced technique that combines the benefits of traditional acupuncture with gentle electrical impulses to enhance the healing process. This non-invasive therapy is used to stimulate specific acupuncture points on the body, providing a deeper and more effective treatment for pain relief, muscle tension, and overall well-being.
Moxabustion
Moxibustion, or moxa, is a time-honored technique in Traditional Chinese Medicine that uses the heat of burning mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) to stimulate acupuncture points and meridians. This warming therapy enhances the flow of Qi and blood, gently disperses cold and damp, and supports the body’s natural healing processes. Whether used on its own or alongside acupuncture, moxibustion is especially beneficial for conditions marked by cold, stagnation, or deficiency—such as digestive issues, fatigue, menstrual cramps, fertility concerns, and joint pain.
