Traditional Chinese Medicine is a range of traditional medical practices originating in China that developed over several thousand years and is an integral part of Chinese culture.
TCM is defined as a medical science governing the theory and practice of traditional Chinese medicine, which includes Chinese medication, pharmacology, herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage, moxibustion, cupping, guasha and Qigong.
The only one true disease is the disturbance or blockage to the flow of life energy - Ki, Chi, Prana or Mana. All pain and illness is a manifestation of energy imbalance and pleasurable good health is the result of having an uninterrupted and abundant flow of life energy.

Face Cupping & Gua Sha
Face cupping is a safe form of non-invasive treatment and is an effective solution to the signs of aging as well as other medical issues.
The process is carried out with specific facial cups to treat face, neck and upper chest; lifting facial tissues and draining lymph. The tissues receive fresh supplies of nutrients and oxygen; and excess fluid, waste and harmful toxins are removed. The massage movements help relax tense facial muscles resulting in a smooth, softer and youthful appearance.
Acupressure points are worked on which assists with ailments such as sinusitis, headaches, TMJ or jaw problems.
