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. By inserting hair-thin needles into specific points along these meridians. Needles may be heated during the treatment or mild electric current may be applied to them.
Acupuncture improves the body's natural healing abilities and promotes physical and emotional well-being.
Before acupuncture and moxibustion treatment, Jie uses various diagnostic techniques, including interrogation, tongue, abdominal, pulse, and meridian exploration. . . . . .
Under the full understanding of the patient's physical and mental conditions, targeted treatment is carried out. Treatment times vary from 60 to 75 minutes. JIE often adds massage, cupping, and warm treatment to acupuncture which reduces the discomfort of needles and gives a more relaxing effect.
Acupuncture treatment requires 3-5 treatments, and sometimes longer treatment time is needed to see the effect. Acupuncture treatment requires the patient's cooperation in food, exercise, self-healing, and many other aspects.

Chinese Herbs
Traditional Chinese medicine is a human-centered art. Jie uses traditional Chinese medical diagnostic techniques, carefully inquiring about patients' symptoms, observing the tongue, taking pulse, palpation, etc.
According to the individual differences, judge the body's deficiency, excess, cold, heat, blood circulation, digestion, and immunity, and choose 4-8 Chinese herbs or 1-2 Chinese patent herbs.
Herbs are ground and served as tea bags. The tea is safe, effective, simple, convenient, light, and tastes good. Chinese patent herbs are concentrated pills, which are convenient to take.
Massage
Massage requires a perfect combination of anatomical knowledge and tactile sensitivity of the hands.
For more than ten years, Jie has completed two exams in classical massage and special massage in Finland. Before the massage, she underwent an Ortopedinen Manual Therapy (OMT) limb test to see the state of the muscles and fascia. Focus on massaging targeted muscles and areas.

Moxa & Cupping & Guasha & Ear
-
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 is the use of fire or vacuum pumping to remove the air in the jar. With the help of negative pressure, the jar is adsorbed on the body surface. The jar is pulled out after 5-10 minutes.
-
Guasha uses a special scraping board, scraping milk, and scraping oil for scraping. Because the shape of the special scraping board is designed according to the anatomical shape of the human body, 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 use the principle of aromatherapy to help customers to prepare scrape oil and customer can continue the self-care process in their free time.
Cupping and Gua Sha are stimulated by suction and pressure, resulting in circular cupping marks and Sha marks of pale red and dark purple color, that is, blood stasis.
In the process of blood stasis metabolism, there is a special enzyme "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.

Ear therapy is a type of massage or acupuncture in the ear. designed to find pressure points in and around the ear that, when triggered, can relieve tension in different parts of the body.
