Gua Sha

Gua Sha is a healing technique used throughout Asia.  Gua means to rub or cause friction.  Sha is the term used to describe congestion of blood at the surface of the body.  When friction is applied in repeated even strokes, the sha surfaces as small red petechiae.  In minutes the petechiae fade into echymotic (black and blue) patches.  The sha disappears totally in two to four days.  The color and rate of fading are both diagnostic and prognostic indicators.

Massage Therapy

Everyone can benefit from professional massage.  Whether one is seeking relief for a medical condition, searching for a method to help deal with the stresses of daily life, or wanting to maintain good health, more Americans are turning to therapeutic massage, than ever before.

Sure massage feels good, but did you know it reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood and lymph flow, relaxes muscles, improves range of motion and increases endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers?  Therapeutic massage enhances medical treatment and helps people feel less anxious and stressed, relaxed yet more alert.  Read more about the benefits of Massage Therapy here.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

In the course of your treatment with Chinese medicine, you may be prescribed an herbal supplement.  Herbs are a variety of naturally found products that have medicinal properties that add to the healthful benefits of acupuncture and massage.

Herbal formulas can be taken in a variety of ways: raw herbs, powdered, pill or capsules.  Raw herbs need to be cooked into a tea. Powder needs to be mixed with hot water making a tea.  Although we call it “tea”, some patients find the taste to be less than delicious.  For this reason many practitioners offer herbal supplements in pill form.  Read more about Chinese Herbal Medicine here.
