Skippack Acupuncture
Moxibustion involves burning of the dried herb mugwort over specific areas or points of the body. Moxa’s strong warming quality warms the qi (energy) and blood and improves circulation, especially in disorders characterized by coldness, such as menstrual disorders, digestive complaints, and arthritic pain.
Cupping is highly beneficial in releasing musculoskeletal tension and pain and removing symptoms of the common cold, flu, and other respiratory disorders. A vacuum is created with a specialized cup that is then placed flush against the patient’s skin. The suction then pulls the skin and underlying fascia into the opening of the cup, stimulating the area. The procedure is painless, however the skin may appear red or purple.
Gua sha or “scraping therapy,” involves pressurized strokes over oiled skin with a smooth-edged instrument. With firm pressure, the smooth edge is “scraped” on the surface of the skin along the meridian pathways where energy flows. Similar to the cupping method, this results in the appearance of small red petechiae, referred to as ‘sha.’ This practice removes blood stagnation and promotes circulation and metabolic processes. The marks on the skin may be slightly tender, but are not painful and, in fact, the patient often experiences immediate relief from symptoms such as pain, stiffness, or cough.
