Gua Sha involves using a smooth-edged tool to scrape the skin, which helps release muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote the flow of energy (Qi). This traditional Chinese therapy can alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and enhance skin health by stimulating blood flow to the surface.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a technique that involves burning a herb called mugwort near specific acupuncture points. The heat from moxa penetrates deeply into the skin, relieving pain, and strengthening the body’s immune system. It’s often used with to treat conditions like digestive issues and chronic fatigue.
Cupping
Cupping therapy uses glass or silicone cups placed on the skin to create suction. This promotes blood flow and helps relieve muscle tension, pain, and inflammation. It’s a highly effective way to detoxify the body, improve circulation, and promote relaxation, especially for athletes and those with chronic pain.
