Acupressure
Acupressure consists of a practitioner placing pressure on certain areas to stimulate the body’s healing and self-regulatory responses. The places where a practitioner will apply pressure depend on your particular issue.
This treatment can help relieve numerous symptoms, such as:
- Improving digestion and helping with symptoms like gas, bloating, indigestion, and heartburn
- Lowering stress and anxiety
- Decreasing the severity and frequency of headaches
- Promoting a better night's sleep and easing insomnia
Cupping
Blood carries vitamins, minerals, and oxygen throughout the body. Your body needs these to heal injuries, process your food intake, and support the immune function.
Cupping helps blood travel to where it's necessary. It also carries blood away from where it's not needed at the time, which can reduce inflammation in an area to provide pain relief. This treatment helps stop blood from pooling and can direct it where it needs to be.
During this treatment, a practitioner from our Lafayette, IN, practice will apply dome-shaped cups to your body. Often, these are placed on your stomach, back, legs, or arms. They'll have a suction-like effect and will cause blood to flow to a specific area.
Moxa
Moxa is part of moxibustion — a technique used in TCM that involves mugwort, a plant in the daisy family. During this Chinese medicine treatment, our practitioner will burn the dried plant in either cone or small stick form. Think of it as something similar to incense.
Our practitioner will place the moxa near specific points to warm the spot and deliver mugwort’s health benefits.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine is part of holistic care, where you're balancing opposing forces within the body to promote better overall health and well-being. Herbal medicine can be given as a liquid, capsule, powder, or tea.
Traditional Chinese medicine is one of the oldest forms of medicine known. T If you'd like to see how you could benefit from TCM at the Nutritional & Wellness Complex in Lafayette, IN, with Dr. Jin, book an appointment.
