Acupuncture
Is the insertion of very thin needles into Acupuncture points along the meridians of the body. Acupuncture works by correcting imbalances in the flow of energy within the body to allow optimal healing and health. Common conditions treated with Acupuncture are neuromusculoskeletal disorders (such as arthritis, neuralgia, insomnia, dizziness and neck/shoulder pain); circulatory disorders (such as hypertension, angina pectoris, arteriosclerosis and anemia); addictions (such as alcohol, nicotine and other drugs); respiratory disorders (such as emphysema, sinusitis, allergies and bronchitis); gastrointestinal disorders (such as food allergies, ulcers, diarrhea, constipation, indigestion, anorexia and gastritis); and emotional imbalances (such as depression and anxiety). Acupuncture can also be useful for treatment of gynecological concerns like menstrual irregularities and fertility. There are currently more than 200 conditions recognized by the World Health Organization that are effectively treated with Acupuncture.

Cupping Therapy
A therapy in which cups are applied by suction on specific locations of the body. The suction of the cups works by stimulating the flow of energy and circulation to these specific points. The suction created by the cups can be made by heat or a mechanical device. The belief is that drawing up the skin by suction will help stimulate the flow of blood, balance the flow of energy, break up adhesions, and draw toxins out of the body. Cupping is commonly used for respiratory disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, pain, tension and emotional imbalances.

Ear Seeds
Ear Seeds are made from an actual seed from the Vaccaria plant. The seeds are applied with a small piece of adhesive tape to Acupuncture points on the Ear. The Ear Seeds are left on the Acupuncture points of the ear to allow stimulation for longer periods of time. This option helps to prolong the effect of the treatment by leaving the pathways of energy open longer. Leaving the Ear Seeds on is particularly helpful in cases where the patient is struggling with weight loss or addictions.

Moxibustion
Is a technique in which a herb called Mugwort is burned and applied to the body either directly or indirectly. The herb Mugwort is chosen due to the fact that the energy of the herb resonates well with the human body. Moxibustion is used to strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of energy and promote general health. Moxibustion is believed to work well to expel cold and to warm the meridians. Since Moxibustion has been shown to increase blood circulation to the pelvic region it is also recognized for use in menstrual cramps; and some studies suggest that Moxibustion is up to 75% successful in correcting a breached baby during pregnancy.

Microneedling & Nanoneedling
Is a technique where the skin is rapidly punctured by a device called a pen, at a very subcutaneous level. These two treatments stimulate the body's production of collagen and elastin. While also increasing the skins ability to absorb and use skin care products. Both Microneedling and Nanoneedling work on the skin level, while Cosmetic Acupuncture also incorporates the use of motor points and addresses the root cause of the concerns. These treatments would be used to decrease fine lines, improve collagen production, promote blood circulation, decrease the appearance of scarring, diminish the appearance of crows feet, improve any concern around the eyes, diminish age spots, and hair restoration.
