Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese therapy used for improving the circulation of blood and Qi through the meridians. Moxa herb (mugwort) is burnt and the warming ember is placed near the body to create a warming effect to the points. Moxa is used to warm regions and acupuncture points of the body with the intention of stimulating circulation through the points and inducing a smoother flow of Qi and blood.
Chiron OM clinic uses top quality Japanese Serin needles for safety and to minimize pain. In addition, we import aged Ai-Ye (herb) for moxibustion from a specific area of Korea renowned for its exceptional quality.
Moxibustion and cupping are used within the traditional Chinese medicine system. Completely unique in the Western world these two modalities complement acupuncture and herbal medicine.
Cupping involves placing heated cups over the skin to encourage blood flow, Qi and body fluids such as lymph. The result is the cup creates an area of low pressure, causing the blood to gather under the cup near the surface of the body.
During a cupping treatment, the patient experiences a mild pulling sensation which calms the sympathetic nerves and allows deep relaxation to move throughout the body.
The general benefits of cupping are; improved circulation, purification of blood, regulation of the autonomic nervous system and an overall cooling effect. Cupping also reduces pain and swelling and speeds up the natural healing process in the specific areas of application.
Herbology is the Chinese art of combining medicinal herbs.
Herbology is one of the more important modalities utilized in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Each herbal medicine prescription is a cocktail of many herbs tailored to the individual patient. To make a herbal formula according to each patient’s condition requires great experience and knowledge, and make the difference between a good Chinese herbal doctor and an amateur. Unlike western medications, the balance and interaction of all the ingredients are considered more important than the effect of individual ingredients.
A key to success in TCM is the treatment of each patient as an individual. Chinese herbology often incorporates ingredients from all parts of plants, such as the leaf, stem, flower, root, and also ingredients from animals and minerals.
