Moxibustion, a core component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is a therapeutic technique that involves burning dried mugwort (moxa) to warm and stimulate specific acupoints on the body. This process is believed to enhance Qi (energy) flow, improve blood circulation, and address various health concerns by restoring balance within the body.
Tuina is a form of traditional Chinese massage therapy that focuses on restoring balance to the body’s “qi” (vital energy) and improving circulation. It’s one of the four main branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), alongside acupuncture, qigong, and herbal medicine. Tuina involves a variety of manual techniques, including kneading, pressing, rolling, and rubbing, to stimulate specific areas along the body’s meridians (energy channels).
Tuina is believed to help with a variety of conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, stress, and digestive issues.
Tuina can be used to treat both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, as well as non-musculoskeletal problems.
