Cupping & Moxibustion
Cupping involves placing warmed glass cups on specific points on the body to create a vacuum. This draws the skin and underlying muscle upwards, stimulating the flow of blood and circulation. Generally, the cups are left in place for about 10 minutes (typical range is 5–15 minutes).
Fertility
When used in conjunction with Western fertility treatments, acupuncture increases conception rates by 65%. A recent study from Tel Aviv University reports, “When combining IUI with TCM treatments, 65.5% of the test group were able to conceive, compared with 39.4% of the control group, who received no herbal or acupuncture therapy.”
Pain Management
Results from a number of studies suggest that acupuncture may help ease types of aches that are often chronic such as low-back stress, neck strain, and osteoarthritis/knee soreness. It also may help reduce the frequency of tension headaches and prevent migraine headaches. Therefore, acupuncture appears to be a excellent option for people with chronic pain to consider.
Dermatology
Chinese medicine treats acne, psoriasis and a range of dermatological issues successfully through acupuncture, herbal medicine, and dietary and lifestyle modifications. Results are usually seen within three months or less. By combining these different treatment modalities, Chinese and herbal medicine medicine treats these disorders for less money and with longer lasting resolution than other methods of dermatology treatments.

Acupuncture for pain and headaches.
Acupuncture effectively treats a wide variety of conditions, specialising in acute or difficult health issues that have not been relieved by everyday Western Medicine. Our main goal is to treat the root cause of a patient’s condition.
It is not uncommon for my chronic patients to notice improvement in their health, but they also begin noticing side benefits, such as improvement in sleep, mood, mental clarity, and overall improvement in quality of life.
How Does Acupuncture for Fertility Work?
Acupuncture infertility treatment produces few or no side effects while performing the same function as Western drugs do: stimulating the hypothalamus to effectively balance the endocrine system and its hormones and to get to the root cause of female infertility as well as male infertility.
Among many other benefits, Acupuncture can provide better blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, creating a stronger chance for an egg to be nourished and carried to term.
