In Chinese Medicine, herbal formulas are used to facilitate the body's own restorative processes. We are both highly trained in the science of herbal medicine and a pharmacopoeia that consists of over 500 Chinese herbs.

Chinese herbal formulas contain combinations of roots, seeds, grains, flowers, berries, fruit, bark, leaves, stems, shells, nuts, resin, or seaweed.

Cupping is a traditional therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The cups can be made of various materials such as glass, silicone, or bamboo. Cupping is often used as a form of alternative medicine to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote relaxation.

During a cupping session, a therapist places cups on the skin and uses either heat or a pump to create suction. The suction pulls the skin and muscle tissue up into the cup, creating a vacuum. This can cause the skin to turn red or even purple, and can leave circular marks on the skin that can last for several days.

Cupping is often used to treat a variety of conditions such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, and respiratory issues. It is also used by some athletes to improve performance and reduce muscle soreness. While cupping is generally considered safe, it can cause side effects such as skin irritation, bruising; or burns with fire cupping.
