Acupuncture
Suitable for:
- Backaches or headaches
- Weight control or weight loss
- Also suitable for a range of other sicknesses and injuries.
How acupuncture works: The acupressure points of the body are stimulated using small needles. One session can take about 20 minutes. Moxibustion, or the burning of herbs to warm affected areas of the body, may be applied in relieving pain and aches caused by rheumatism.
Cupping
Suitable for:
- Soft tissue sprains
- Muscles aches and pains
How it works: Acupressure points are stimulated by applying suction through a plastic, wooden or glass jar to warm the affected areas. This will help to improve blood circulation in the treated area and help to relax the affected muscles.
