Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as Qi, which flows through pathways (meridians) in your body.
Acupuncture works by inserting hair-thin needles into specific points along these meridians. The needles are heated during the treatment or mild electric current.
Acupuncture improves the body's natural healing abilities and promotes physical and emotional well-being.
​
Before Acupuncture and Moxa treatment, Jie uses various diagnostic techniques, including discussing with the client, tongue diagnosis, abdominal diagnosis, pulse evaluation, and meridian exploration.
After understanding the patient's physical and mental conditions, we design a custom treatment. Treatment times vary from 60 to 75 minutes. The treatment might include massage, cupping, and infrared lamp to acupuncture which reduces the discomfort of needles and gives a more relaxing effect.
Acupuncture treatment requires 3-5 treatments. Sometimes the customer might need a longer treatment to improve. Depending of their condition.
Acupuncture treatment requires the patient's cooperation with changes in diet, exercise, self-healing, and many other aspects.

Chinese Herbs
Traditional Chinese medicine is a human-centered art.
Jie uses Traditional Chinese Medical diagnostic techniques by carefully inquiring about clients' symptoms, observing the tongue, taking the pulse, palpation, etc.
​
The individual diagnosis gives clues about the health status of the costumer and body's condition such as excess, cold, heat, blood circulation, digestion, and immunity. During the treatment at the clinic Jie chooses 4-12 Chinese herbs or 1-2 Chinese patent herbs and prepares a tea for the customer to use.
​
Herbs are ground and served as tea bags. The tea is safe, effective, simple, convenient and light. Chinese patent herbs are concentrated pills, which are convenient to take.

It is a method of physical and mental exercise that uses breathing adjustment, physical activity adjustments, and consciousness adjustments (breath adjustment, body adjustment, and mind adjustment) as means and aims at strengthening the body, preventing and treating diseases, keeping fit and prolonging life, and developing potentials.

Moxa & Cupping & Guasha & Ear,Foot Reflexology
Moxibustion treatment:
-
In moxibustion, Mugwort (Artemisia argyi) is placed near the acupoints to heat them. But Jie's office also uses heating equipment to replace moxibustion.
​
Cupping treatment:
-
In Cupping, a local suction is created on the skin with the application of vacumed cups. With the help of negative pressure, the jar is adsorbed on the body surface. The jar is pulled out after 5-10 minutes.
​
Guasha treatment:
​
Guasha uses a special scraping board, scraping milk, and scraping oil for sweeping the body.
​
The shape of the special scraping board is designed according to the anatomical shape of the human body. That is why it is suitable for scraping the meridian points, face, and ear to achieve proper stimulation.
​
All symptoms that can be treated by acupuncture and massage, can be treated by Guasha therapy. Jie can uses Aromatherapy to prepare the sweeping oil for each customer. Then the customer can continue the self-care process in their free time.
​
Please note that Cupping and Guasha are stimulated by suctioning and pressing parts of the body, resulting in circular cupping marks and Sha marks of pale red and dark purple color which dissapear after a few days. These marks are called "Blood stasis"
​
In the process of blood stasis metabolism, there is a special enzyme called "blood matrix oxidase-1 (HO-1)". HO-1 is responsible for decomposing the blood matrix into biliverdin and carbon monoxide(CO), iron.
Biliverdin or bilirubin has anti-inflammatory effects, promoting wound repair. CO has the effect of dilating blood vessels, helps to promote circulation in the affected area, and has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

​
