Cupping
Cupping has many health benefits including pain reduction, detoxification and increased blood flow. It can be used anywhere on the body, dependant on the issues involved. It is often used to relax sore or tight muscles. Treatment involves applying the sterilised cups to the skin via suction for a few minutes, or cups may be moved across an area of the body to give a massage effect.
Cupping may be given as part of an acupuncture appointment; alternatively it is also available as a stand alone treatment.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is an ancient therapeutic tool which has a rich history within Chinese medicine and may be used as part of an acupuncture treatment. It involves burning dried mugwort (moxa) to warm specific points or areas on the body. This may be done by placing lit cones of moxa on the skin, or by using lit sticks of moxa to indirectly heat the body and/or acupuncture needles.
