Associated therapies

Associated therapy is when more then one method is used in conjunction with the main choice of treatment, this is quite common

– such as acupuncture and moxibustion.

Moxibustion feels like sunshine on the body. It is used to promote.

Gua Sha can be used cosmetically, it is used to reduce.

Cupping is used a lot like Gua Sha but with different application.

Moxibustion is a herb that is burnt.

Gua Sha is done with a tool scraped in one direction along the skin.

Cupping uses fire traditionally and a glass cup, the fire creates a negative pressure in the glass consuming oxygen.
This pressure vacuums the remaining air around the skin.

Aromatherapy is a branch of herbal medicine, using various flower essences and traditional Chinese medical theory it can be used at a powerful level for healing.

Foot spas use herbs to promote health and wellbeing.

Herbal tea is available to try as an associated therapy and is also available to purchase.

Dietary therapy may be included.

"I had a patient who was suffering from low energy, she felt tired all the time. After Moxibustion she was able to mow the lawn and had lots more spark. Sound therapy was also a part of treatment, she reported feeling a lot more ‘’grounded.’’"
