Acupressure
Acupressure points are pressed along the meridians of the body by the practitioner using fingers and hands. Also referred to as Shiatsu.

Auriculotherapy or Auricular Therapy (ear acupuncture)
A form of acupuncture, the insertion of needles into points of the outer ear. Smaller seeds or tacks can be also be placed in the ear and left in place for a few days at a time.

Cupping
The use of round vacuum cups that suck up the superficial layers of skin to enhance blood circulation to designated areas. The cups can either remain in a fixed position or moved over a large surface area with oil massaged on the skin. This may produce a deep redness, discolouration on the skin, which may persist for a few days. These marks are not an indication of complication or injury and resolve on their own.

Herbology
Chinese herbs are used to enhance the body’s own restorative process. Herbs can be taken in pill or capsule form, or by boiling dried roots, bark or leaves in hot water and drinking as a tea after straining the water. The herbal teas tend to have a bitter taste, but are very effective for treating internal stagnations when needles are ineffective.

Moxibustion
The application of indirect heat by burning the herb called Artimesiae Vulgaris, (commonly known as Mugwort) over a single acupuncture point or large surface area. This heat penetrates into the deeper muscle/fascial layer of the body creating a pleasurable warming sensation. Moxibustion has been used in China for thousands of years.

Tui Na (Chinese massage)
Used in China at both hospitals and clinics, as a form of therapeutic massage. Compared to traditional massages, it’s technique emphasizes more grasping and pulling. Tui Na helps to stimulate the flow of bodily fluids, lymph and blood, and break up scar tissue/adhesions. This technique can be performed without removing one’s clothing.
