Chinese Medicine

Chinese medicine massage dates back 5,000 years in history. It is an original form of Chinese health treatment and disease prevention method. Through different manipulation techniques of the soft tissue, acupuncture points, tendons, ligaments and bones it helps to clear the meridians and stimulate the Qi and Blood circulation, getting rid of painful stagnations.

Chinese medicine massage does not require any special medical equipment, nor is it a subject to time and place or climate conditions. It can be preformed at anytime, anywhere can be implemented in a healthy lifestyle. Done right it is effective and reliable, without any side effects. It is a way to reconcile Qi and Blood, restoring balance between YinYang, so that people can maintain a good health.

For healthy people, it can enhance the body’s natural immune system, keeping the body relaxed and soft, so the Blood and Qi can run smooth. For patients it can speed up the recovery process and function of the affected parts.

刮痧   GuaSha   Scraping

Guasha is a traditional Chinese medical treatment where the skin is scraped with a soft-edged tools. The treatment produces bruising, which gives an indication of where and how serious the condition is, the darker the brands, the more serious stagnation or ailment. Scraping stimulates the body to release unhealthy elements from damaged areas, increase blood flow and speed up the healing process. External herbal oils and ointments are also used to enhance the treatment.

拔罐 BaGuan Cupping

Cupping (BaGuan) is an ancient Chinese treatment method in which the skin is lifted by a vacuum created by means of a cup against the skin. Cupping mobilizes blood and energy flow in order to dispel stagnation ie stagnant blood and tissue fluids to promote healing. By stimulating acupuncture points and meridians, we balance life energy to flow freely throughout the body, through all the tissues and organs.
