Acupuncture

Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine in the West is at once a truly traditional medicine with modern growth, refinement and adaptation. It acknowledges and respects the wisdom of the past, but also incorporates innovations based upon clinical experience. it focus on treating the cause of the disease, instead of the symptom or disorder
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the burning of mugwort, a small, spongy herb, to facilitate healing. Moxibustion has been used throughout Asia for thousands of years; in fact, the actual Chinese character for acupuncture, translated literally, means "acupuncture-moxibustion." The purpose of moxibustion, as with most forms of traditional Chinese medicine, is to strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of qi, and maintain general health.In Western medicine, moxibustion has successfully been used to turn breech babies into a normal head-down position prior to childbirth.
Cupping
Cupping is generally used if there is cold energy in the patient's meridians. The warm air from the cupping stimulates the skin, and the suction coaxes blood to the area which promotes localised healing. The chi is warmed and starts to flow freely down the meridians.
Many diseases and disorders can benefit from cupping. The earliest writings found on the therapy from ancient China recommend its use in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Today, cupping is still used for respiratory disease, as well as digestive and gynaecological disorders, headaches and dizziness, and lymphatic blockages.
Tai Chi
Tai Chi is a moving form of meditation where precision movements and controlled breathing are synchronized to enable the practitioner to flow with the direction of energy in and around the body. It offers a variety of quality of life benefits, such as improved cognitive ability, decreased anxiety, depression, and stress, improved circulation.
