Acupuncture is a modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves the insertion of sterile filiform needles into the body at various points along pathways known as meridians. Acupuncture may also be performed without needles, often called non-invasive or non-insertive acupuncture.

Specific points and meridians treated depends upon your condition, which is diagnosed by your acupuncturist via intake, pulse diagnosis, tongue diagnosis, and palpation.

Moxibustion involves the burning of the dried, ground herb mugwort on or above the body at select acupuncture points. This warming therapy encourages blood flow, boosts energy, aids with digestion, alleviates pain, and has even been shown to flip a fetus from breech position before birth.

Moxibustion has an earthy, incense-like scent and produces a light amount of smoke. Please let your acupuncturist know if you are sensitive to either before booking.
