Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine
Acupuncture is a 3,000-year-old healing technique of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
In 1997, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) documented and publicized acupuncture’s safety and efficacy for treating a wide range of conditions.
Acupuncture improves the body’s functions and promotes the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific anatomic sites commonly referred to as acupuncture points, or acupoints.
The most common method used to stimulate acupoints is the insertion of fine, sterile needles into the skin. Pressure, heat, or electrical stimulation may further enhance the effects. Other acupoint stimulation techniques include: manual massage, moxibustion or heat therapy, cupping, and the application of topical herbal medicines and linaments.
Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal formulas, some in use for more than 2,200 years, are composed of ingredients chosen to function in combination with each other. In Western medicine, medications are usually prescribed individually for a specific effect.
In classical Traditional Chinese Medicine herbal formulas, each herb has a different purpose or role to help the body achieve harmony. For a plant to have been included in the Chinese apothecary, each of its parts had to be identified for a different healing purpose. TCM also looks at the healing properties of foods in the same way. Different foods carry different energies that can go directly to specific organs to help them heal.
Helps to detoxify the body and improve circulation
Abhyanga combines the 5,000-year-old Indian principles of Ayurveda—the science of life—and pressure points. This therapy is designed to create balance among the mind, body, and spirit, and help the body heal itself. It’s sometimes referred to as an “ayurvedic oil massage” because it typically incorporates warm herbal oils, as well as time-honored and non-traditional strokes and kneading that suit an individual’s needs.
During Abhyanga, organic oil blends are infused with Ayurvedic herbs and heated to promote relaxation and detoxification. The oils are chosen to balance a person’s dominant dosha. At the right temperature, these oils enter the body through the skin and pores, bind to the ama (toxins), and are released to detoxify the body.
Calm, relaxing effect on the nervous system
Shirodhara is an amazing, unique body therapy from the ancient natural medical system Ayurveda.
Shirodhara has a profound impact on the nervous system. That means, the treatment directly and immediately calms, relaxes and has a cleansing effect on the mind and nerves.
The gentle pressure and soothing warmth of the oil allow the body, mind and nervous system to experience a deep state of rest, similar to meditation.
The pressure of the oil onto the forehead creates a vibration. The oil saturates the forehead and scalp and penetrates into the nervous system.
