Other Methods & Events
A variety of other methods and techniques maybe applied during
your Acupuncture treatment. Check out Events and KORU Shop below
Tuina (Chinese Massage)
Tuina is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine’s (TCM) original bodywork. This method involves pressing, grasping, rocking, pushing motions along muscles, Meridians and Acupuncture points to restore qi flow for your overall health and wellbeing. Tuina is used within your Cupping treatment.
Gua Sha (‘Gwah Sah’)
A healing technique from TCM using a smooth-edged tool to 'scrape' the skin to release congestion of blood and toxins relieving tightness and tension and to bring new blood and oxygen to areas. Like Cupping this can leave markings called 'sha'- reddish speckled rash that may last a few days while healing take place.
TDP Mineral Heat Lamp
Contains a mineral plate which emits a special brand of infrared electromagnetic energy delivering heat. Relaxes muscles, increases range of movement and helps with arthritis, lower back pain, painful/ irregular menstruation etc. Clinically shown to promote blood circulation in the tiny spaces of your body delivering nutrients, repair cells and toxin removal.
Moxibustion
A TCM therapy that burns the dried plant ‘Mugwort’, (Artemisia Vulgaris) in different forms- a stick, cones, moxa wool near to the skin to produce a therapeutic heat. Applied indirectly to the skin or directly to needles, the heat carries in both the superficial and deeper layers. This thermal effect is used to treat digestive issues like colitis and diarrhea, urinary complaints, enhances immunity, assists soft tissue injuries and can be used to turn breech babies.
Auricular Therapy (Ear Acupuncture)
In TCM, the ear represents a Micro System of the entire body which can be mapped onto the anatomical structures of the ear. Stimulating certain areas on the ear which correspond to the affected body part(s) and/or current issues, using small delicate Acupuncture needles, ear seeds or ear studs. This may help relieve: Pain, Stress, Addiction/Withdrawal symptoms and Trauma.
TCM Lifestyle and Dietary Guidance
Chinese Medicine considers all aspects of the mind body soul including the relationship between sleep, rest, movement, emotions, mental attitude, stress, the seasons and weather and how these impact on presenting signs and symptoms. The energetic properties of food may also be considered. Guidance and advice maybe offered during treatment.
