CHINESE MEDICINE AND PRIVATE ACUPUNCTURE APPOINTMENT

Chinese medicine is a holistic medical system that has been used for thousands of years to diagnose and treat a wide range of health conditions. Here are some common Chinese medicine treatments:

• Acupuncture: involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of Qi (energy, pronounced “chi”) and restore balance to the body.

• Herbal Medicine: Chinese herbal medicine uses natural plant-based remedies to treat various health conditions. Different herbs are chosen based on the individual's unique symptoms and constitution.

• Cupping: involves placing heated cups on the skin to create suction, which helps to release tension and improve circulation.

• Moxibustion: involves the burning of a special herb called mugwort near or on the skin to warm and stimulate specific acupuncture points.

• Tui Na Massage: a type of Chinese therapeutic massage that involves the use of various techniques to manipulate the body's soft tissues and muscles.

• Gua Sha: uses a smooth-edged tool to scrape the skin, which helps to release tension and improve circulation.

The specific treatments used will depend on the individual's unique health condition and constitution.
