Acupuncture/ TCM/ NAET
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the therapeutic modalities of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Fine, sterile needles are inserted into specific points in the body facilitating the body's self healing system. It can assist with the management of symptoms in conjunction with conventional medical treatment of diseases.
Chinese Massage (Tuina)
Chinese Massage (Tuina) offers a specific type of massage and manipulation techniques, used to treat musculoskeletal pain and stiffness. By re-establishing the energy flow within the body according to the principles of TCM, internal systems can be rebalanced to help with conditions such as digestive and respiratory disorders, headaches and emotional stresses.
NAET
NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques) is a powerful, energy-based method for treating and preventing illness. We specialize in the treatment of acute and chronic pain conditions and the treatment of food, chemical and environmental allergies and sensitivities.
Cupping
Cupping therapy uses warm suctions cups that are placed on the skin to create a therapeutic response. Static application can help to remove toxins, release tight muscles and fascial restrictions. Gliding cupping slide over soft tissue to relieve muscle tension, resulting in a relaxing deep tissue therapy. Other applications can assist with congestion in the lungs causing respiratory issues.

What is cosmetic facial acupuncture?

How does acupuncture work?
Your body is a network of interacting energies. An even distribution and smooth flow of these energies will maintain health, whereas any interruption, depletion or stagnation in these energies can lead to disease. The principle of acupuncture is to aid these natural processes, helping the body to re-order the interaction of energies and heal itself.
What is NAET?
A Journey to Better Health
Until recently, we looked at disease as sets of symptoms caused by poor
function or non-function of specific organs or body parts. Medical professionals
everywhere are taught to look for and to treat symptoms, rather than to look
further to find their causes. If we looked for causes, most could be found
easily, allowing symptoms to be reduced or effectively mitigated.
Principles of NAET®
We now know that many disorders (e.g., headaches, back aches, joint pains, addiction, PMS, indigestion, cough, body aches, etc.) are caused by undiagnosed allergies. When left untreated, allergies can become serious life threatening illnesses.
Dr.Nambudripad's discovery, NAET®, is an innovative and completely natural method
for regaining better health and effectively relieving allergies and the diseases
arising from those allergens.
