❤️ Happy Valentine’s Day!

❤️ Show yourself (and your loved ones) some love by booking an acupuncture treatment!

❤️ Did you know acupuncture is thought to increase your pain threshold, explaining why it can produce long-term pain relief? In addition to that, acupuncture is believed to increase blood circulation, body temperature and white blood cell count (which plays a huge role in our body’s immunity). It also can reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels, regulate blood sugar and release endorphins (which are known to improve mood, health and relieve pain).

I love moxibustion! 💕 Find out why below! 👇🏻

❄️ As the weather outside has cooled off, I would like to introduce you to one of the many modalities I offer… moxibustion!

🌬What is moxibustion?

Moxibustion (moxa) is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy in which dried mugwort is burned on or near acupuncture points for therapeutic effect.

🌬What does moxibustion do?

Moxa provides thermal stimulation that effects both the shallow and deep tissues of the skin and are thought to effect the warm and/or polymodal receptors. The burning of moxa produces radiation in the infrared spectrum, which can be therapeutic. And ingredients identified in the mugwort leaves and moxa smoke have a variety of biological activities that compound the therapeutic benefits of moxa (Deng & Shen, 2013).

🌬What can moxibustion treat?

Some of the many conditions treated with moxibustion include arthritis and other chronic pain conditions, fatigue, digestive upsets, infertility and other gynaecological conditions including menstrual cramps and even stroke rehabilitation!

Book in with me today, and see if moxibustion therapy is what you need on these cold winter days! 🥶
