Moxibustion, or moxa, is the process of burning the herb mugwort near the skin for therapeutic purposes.

​

Moxa is very helpful in stimulating the turning of breech babies as well as treating nausea, anemia, edema, and more. Moxa also increases blood flow, aiding in the treatment of pain.

Cupping therapy can be a welcome addition in postpartum recovery. It is very similar to having a deep tissue massage, but instead, cups are applied creating a vacuum suction. This suction helps relax muscles and increase blood flow to tight or injured areas.

 

Cupping can be performed by itself, or during an acupuncture session.

Reflexology is an ancient healing art that involves manipulation of pressure points in the hands and feet.  

 

Reflexology can be very helpful for fertility! Reflexology treatments can regulate hormonal imbalances, reduce stress, improve sleep quality, and promote healthy digestion and detoxification.
