Cupping is a traditional therapy used in Chinese medicine to encourage local circulation and tissue movement where it is needed. Small cups are placed on the skin to create gentle suction, which may help relieve areas of tightness and support the body’s natural processes.

Gua sha is a traditional technique often used alongside acupuncture to support circulation, ease muscle tension, and reduce stagnation in the tissues. Using a smooth-edged tool, gentle scraping is applied to the skin to encourage blood flow and lymphatic movement, helping the body’s natural healing response.

Moxibustion (moxa) is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that uses gentle warmth from dried mugwort to stimulate acupuncture points and areas of the body. The warmth helps to support circulation, relax muscles, and promote the body’s natural healing response. Moxa is commonly used for conditions associated with cold, deficiency, pain, or fatigue, and is often deeply soothing and grounding for patients.
