Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine, sterile, single use needles (as thin as a cat’s whisker) into acupuncture points on the body. Hundreds of acupuncture points can be opened like gates using these needles to balance and harmonize the flow of qi, relieve pain and many other symptoms of disease, normalize the body’s physiological functions, and promote the natural healing ability of the body.
The Acupuncture style we practice is very gentle. You will likely not feel the insertion of any of the needles. It is also very relaxing by nature because it immediately stimulates the Sympathetic Nervous system to calm you. Many people become deeply relaxed and even fall asleep during session.
AURICULAR “EAR” ACUPUNCTURE
The ear is a microcosm of the entire body, therefore, acupuncture points can be found on the external ear and stimulated using acupuncture needles and/or acupuncture seeds/pellets. Many Auricular protocols are used for Detox, Pain Management, Stress Management, Weight Management, and Energy boosting.
ELECTRICAL ACUPUNCTURE “E-STIM”
Involves the stimulation of acupuncture points with mild electric current. It is commonly used to treat pain and nerve disorders.
ACUPRESSURE
Involves the stimulation of acupuncture points on the body using massage and pressure, rather than needles. Sometimes acupuncture seeds are placed on the ear to stimulate acupuncture points.
