Needling
Acupuncture needling has been practiced for thousands of years in Asian countries. It is the practice of inserting thin, metallic needles at specific acupoints on the body which are then activated or sedated through gentle manipulation. This stimulates the body’s own natural healing processes by unblocking obstructions along the energy meridians; thereby re-establishing the smooth, optimal flow of Qi (Prana in Ayurveda), blood and body fluids. As per Western medicine, insertion of a needle induces microtrauma locally and triggers the body’s immune response, thereby modulating the intensity of both the central and peripheral nervous system’s response to injuries and stress. It reduces inflammation and improves blood flow to the injured tissue, thereby speeding the healing process.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a therapy that complements acupuncture well. It involves generating heat on the skin’s surface by burning dried herbal preparation of Artemisia Vulgaris (Mugwort). It can be used in multiple ways to influence the circulation of Qi, blood and body fluids or to warm up the meridians and to dispel external pathogens.
Moxibustion works extremely well to enhance energy levels, to optimise immunity and in certain musculoskeletal pain disorders, digestive issues and menstrual abnormalities.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping is done by creating a suction inside glass or plastic cups which are then placed on different areas of the body. The vacuum created pulls the skin and fascia up and away from the underlying muscles and creates space between the tissue layers that are tight and painful. Therefore, it releases muscle tension, aids lymphatic flow and enhances blood circulation, especially in sports and orthopedic injuries.
Cupping treatment has the effect of relaxing tight regions and reducing symptoms of pain that you may be experiencing. In case of a cold or flu, cupping on the upper back may also help remove congestion from the respiratory passage.
Electroacupuncture
ElectroAcupuncture is basically adding gentle electrical currents to traditional acupuncture treatments. When the proper current, frequency, and voltage are applied, the treatment becomes much more effective. This technique coaxes the body to produce neurotransmitters such as serotonin and beta endorphins to provide pain relief, improve range of movement and functionality of a particular joint. It is beneficial in musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis of the knees, sciatica, cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder as well as post surgery rehabilitation.
Acupressure
Acupressure is a part of Ayurveda’s Marma chikitsa basically originating from India and other Asian countries. Acupressure is a therapy involving the stimulation of the affected points in hands, feet & along the meridians that facilitate the positive flow of energy, improves the circulation of blood and unblocks nerve impulses in the body. It promotes a sound mind & a healthy body. People of any group can be benefitted by acupressure without any side effects. There are many therapies under acupressure or similar to acupressure like Sujok, Seed therapy, Hand & Foot Reflexology, Face Reflexology, Spine Reflexology, Auricular (Ear) therapy, shiatsu technique, Seed therapy etc., we combined them together to help patients recover faster.
Auricular Acupuncture
Auricular acupuncture is, quite simply, acupuncture done on the ear. This can be achieved either by inserting thin needles or by sticking ear seed on an adhesive tape; particularly if you are sensitive to needle insertion. This modality has been hugely effective in treating chronic pain and addictions. The National Acupuncture Detoxification Association auricular protocol (NADA) uses five points—sympathetic, shen men, kidney, liver, and lung to treat addictions.
