Fire Cupping
Fire cupping is a therapeutic technique often used alongside acupuncture. In this practice, glass cups are briefly heated and placed on the skin, creating a gentle suction. This suction stimulates circulation, relieves muscle tension, and draws out stagnation from deep tissues.
It’s particularly effective for conditions like chronic pain, respiratory issues, and tightness in the back or shoulders. The treatment may leave temporary circular marks on the skin, a normal and harmless indication of improved blood flow and detoxification.

Acupuncture
TCM Acupuncture is a holistic healing practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, focusing on restoring balance within the body’s energy system—known as Qi (pronounced "chee"). By targeting specific points on the body, this natural therapy supports physical, emotional, and mental well-being, addressing both acute and chronic conditions.
Acupuncture involves the gentle insertion of ultra-fine, sterile needles into specific acupoints along the body’s meridians. These points correspond with pathways of energy that influence internal organ function, circulation, immune response, and overall vitality.
Treatments are designed to reduce pain, improve circulation, regulate the nervous system, and promote the body’s innate healing abilities. Common reasons people seek acupuncture include musculoskeletal pain, stress and anxiety, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalance, fatigue, and more. Most clients find acupuncture sessions relaxing, often experiencing a sense of calm and renewed energy.

Herbs
A TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) practitioner uses herbs to support the body’s natural healing processes and restore balance. Rather than prescribing single herbs, they typically create custom formulas by combining multiple herbs tailored to each patient’s specific symptoms and underlying imbalances. These formulas can be taken as teas, powders, pills, or soups, and may be adjusted over time as the patient’s condition evolves.
