Moxa is mugwort herb that is then rolled into a cigar-like stick and lit on fire until it smoulders. The heat from the moxa stick is then used to promote warmth and circulation to certain parts of the body to achieve healing. Moxa is fantastic for aches and pains that feel worse in cold weather, menstrual cramping and can even be used to turn breech babies!

Guasha is a technique similar to cupping therapy, in that it creates a vacuum on the skin that helps to relieve stagnation and increase blood and lymphatic flow. The difference is that instead of using cups, guasha utilizes flat edged, rounded tools to “scrape” the skin and create the vacuum.  Typically, guasha provides instant relief from pain and muscular tension.

Cupping is a modality that uses cups to create a vacuum, or suction on the skin that pulls the muscle away from the fascia layer in the body. This is very effective at relieving pain and tension and leaves the patient with pretty cool octopus marks all over the body.
