Cupping

Cupping can realign and restore the body’s natural functions and support the   balance of chi and good health. If the body’s organs have become weakened, cupping will restore their strength. Conversely when the organs become over-active, cupping can decrease their over-activity.

Cupping uses the suction and pulling action on the skin to stimulate the body’s internal organs and their functions and focussed on acupuncture points and meridian lines to boost the body’s natural immunity and recovery processes.

Cupping harmonises the Ying and Yang of the meridians, promoting chi and blood circulation. It relieves the dampness and chill from inside to achieve optimal health.

Moxibustion

Moxa and other herbs are mixed together and burnt to heat certain vital acupuncture points on the body. The heat stimulates meridian points to ensure the smooth and unrestricted flow of chi energy and blood along the meridian lines to maintain balance within the body. 

The heat energy warms the kidneys and spleen, promoting chi circulation and enhancing the body’s natural responses to illness.

This is an external prevention and therapeutic method.

Health and Life

A highly effected dietary therapy system has evolved over thousands of years of Chinese history and experience.

This dietary therapy ensures optimum bodily functioning. Each year, the passing of each season requires a different dietary intake and regime.

Our body is closely linked and aligned to the seasons and responds  to them. Further, each category of food has a relationship to specific organs. When the seasons, diet and organs are correctly linked and aligned,  improved health is the result. Through our diet and intake of food, we can achieve the highest level of function from our organs, leading to prevention of illnesses and a longer, healthier life.
