Moxibustion, Gua Sha
Moxibustion supplements the deficiency in the body, which can be used with Gua Sha. We will diagnose you using Chinese medicine fundamentals and use the most immediate method to get rid of your physical discomfort.
Moxibustion and Gua Sha are the essence of surgical treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, both of which rely on mobilizing qi and blood and clearing the meridians to achieve the purpose of treating diseases and maintaining health. There are some differences in treatment techniques and suitable constitutions: In the terminology of traditional Chinese medicine, patients can use moxibustion to “make up” the body or “fire”, and the method of “Gua Sha,” such as scraping is the “Xie” method, and is suitable for people with strong bodies.
Moxibustion
The body's Yuanyang Qi is innate and can only be replenished once it is worn out and cannot be regenerated. The moxibustion therapy borrows the wormwood's medicinal properties (has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis) and the heat of fire to supplement the Yang Yiqi , And spread moxibustion on specific acupuncture points to produce a warming effect. We use aged moxibustion to "warm, but not dry, and clear meridians". When burned, aged moxa has mild heat, can penetrate the skin and reach deeply, with powerful effects.
Suitable for

Gua Sha
The "Sha" that occurs during Gua Sha is the stasis and blockage of blood in the body. Through Gua Sha, you can detoxify and remove the stasis. Our doctors with many years of clinical experience in traditional Chinese medicine will repeatedly scrape in the places where your body is clogged, causing the skin to "spot" locally, producing corresponding effects, smoothing the meridians, and soothing the pain caused by disease or long-term fatigue.
