heat therapy can relieve your winter aches and pain!

Heat therapy, often used in conjunction with acupuncture, can bring stunning results to cases of chronic pain like arthritis, recurring migraines, ulcers, or tendonitis. Chinese principles of hot and cold - based on the theory of yin and yang - tell us that cold places are in need of heat and flow of energy. Moxabustion and the TDP lamp help increase the flow of heat and energy bringing healing to the body.

Here’s the scoop on Moxabustion
Moxabustion is a form of heat therapy that involves burning an herb called mugwort near acupuncture points to warm the skin and increase circulation and energy. Moxabustion is especially useful when and where there is cold in the body. It is used in conjunction with acupuncture to treat migraines, joint and muscle pain, digestive issues, menstrual cramps, and even infertility. ​

The Miracle Lamp’s healing power
The TDP lamp is affectionately referred to as “The Miracle Lamp” because of its ability to bring healing to the body. TDP stands for "Teding Diancibo Pu" which translates to "special electromagnetic spectrum" lamp. The lamp’s infrared waves, though invisible to the eye, offer countless benefits to our bodies and promote the removal of toxins. The lamp emits far infrared waves (FIR) that have been scientifically proven to reduce inflammation and promote circulation even on a micro-level so that cells can receive more oxygen and nutrients. When this happens the cells are better able to repair themselves. The “Miracle Lamp” is used worldwide to treat pain and reduce inflammation, much like soaking in a hot bath to relax sooth aching muscles and joints. This is a fantastic option to use when treating muscle stiffness, arthritis and back pain.
