Acupuncture

cupuncture and Moxibustion is its full name in its literal Chinese translation. This alternative medicine methodology consists of two parts; one is acupuncture which a practitioner manipulates very thin and fine needles to insert into the special acupuncture points. It is believed in TCM that by stimulating these points will balance the ‘qi’ flow in human body through what is called meridians. A modern explanation of why acupuncture works is that the needles stimulates the nerves in the muscle to enhance its self-healing and self-regulating power.

Moxibustion is traditional done by burning a moxa and run it close to your body, using the heat to stimulate your muscle and is believed to have healing power. Nowadays moxibustion is done with an infrared heating lamp which emits energy in the infrared spectrum to provide heating for the purpose of increasing tissue warmth. This helps with the relief of pain and stiffness of muscle, especially with the neck, shoulder, back and waist.

Acupuncture is clinically shown to be effective in the following health related problems: Migraine, Muscle Stiffness and Pain, Joint Pain due to Rheumatoid, Gastritis, IBS, Digestive System Illness, Respiratory System Illness, Depression, Insomnia, Female Infertility, Improve Immune System, Wight Loss, and Stop Smoking/Drinking.
