AURICULAR THERAPY
is the use of needles or seeds on the ear. The ear represents a microcosm of the whole body. The ear itself can be used as a single aspect of treating the problems of the body. There are different types of protocols that can be used for weight loss, addictions, pain management, mental issues such as depression and anxiety, chronic fatigue, skin conditions, high blood pressure and many more.

CUPPING
is a therapy designed to stimulate the flow of blood and Qi within the superficial muscle layers. It is used for sore muscles, tension, neck pain and the common cold. In this therapy, your acupuncturist will place small glass cup over specific areas on your body. A vacuum is created under the cup using heat. They may be moved over an affected are or left in place. You may leave the office looking as though a large octopus gave you a big hug. There is no need for alarm. The slight redness will quickly dissipate.

GUA SHA
Gua sha is another technique used to release muscle tension, tightness and constriction. A specialized tool is used to gently scrape or rub the skin over a problem area. Gua sha feels a bit like a deep massage. This too may leave some slight redness that will quickly dissipate.

MOXIBUSTION
is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the burning of the herb Ai Ye (mugwort), a small, spongy herb, to facilitate healing. Moxibustion has been used throughout Asia for thousands of years. The purpose of moxibustion, as with most forms of traditional Chinese medicine, is to strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of qi, and maintain general health.

In indirect moxibustion, a practitioner lights one end of a moxa stick, roughly the shape and size of a cigar made with Ai Ye, and holds it close to the area being treated for several minutes until the area turns red. Another form of indirect moxibustion uses both acupuncture needles and moxa. A needle is inserted into an acupoint and retained. The tip of the needle is then wrapped in Ai Ye and ignited, generating heat to the point and the surrounding area. After the desired effect is achieved, the Ai Ye is extinguished and the needle(s) removed.

TUINA MASSAGE
To a Westerner, Tui Na is the form of Asian bodywork most closely resembling conventional western massage. Many of the techniques are similar -- gliding (known as effleurage or Tui), kneading (petrissage or Nie), percussion (tapotement or Da), friction, pulling, rotation, rocking, vibration, and shaking. Despite the similarities, the intent of Tui Na is more specifically therapeutic than the simple relaxation of a Swedish-style massage.

One of Tui Na's advantages over simple massage is its ability to focus on specific problems, especially chronic pain associated with the muscles, joints, and skeletal system. It's especially effective for joint pain (such as arthritis), sciatica, muscle spasms, and pain in the back, neck, and shoulders. It also helps chronic conditions such as insomnia, constipation, headaches (including migraines), and the tension associated with stress.

Workshops / Events
ACUPUNCTURE HAPPY HOUR
is an opportunity for people to experience acupuncture in a relaxed and enjoyable group setting. You can come in once, on a regular basis, or as a supplement to your regular treatments. The treatments are affordable and use pre-packaged, sterile and disposal stainless steel needles.

Each treatment will:
• offer an opportunity to experience the relaxing and rejuvenating benefits of acupuncture
• use up to five acupuncture points (accessible fully clothed) to smooth energy flow, calm the nervous system and enhance general well-being and improve sleep
• provide the enjoyment of the inviting atmosphere of Hot House yoga treatment space with its comfortable mats and blankets, and
• incorporate different music and readings to complement the energetic
effects of the points and to synchronize with the season.

This treatment has been used for years to help those detoxifying from addictions, people suffering the effects of trauma such as military veterans or survivors in the aftermath of a disaster, or for first responders to events like Hurricaine Katrina and other natural disasters. Veterans and Service Personnel who are receiving this treatment report such benefits as more peaceful sleep, greater mental clarity, reduced anxiety, lower stress responses and overall greater well-being.
