Additional Information: Far Infrared Heat Therapy: Involves the use of an Infrared Heat Lamp to influence the movement of qi (energy) and blood. It helps to treat and prevent diseases by applying heat to acupuncture points, meridians or certain areas of the body. This therapy is especially useful in healing sores, treating arthritis, gastro-intestinal disorders, menstruation disorders, menstrual cramps, and strengthening the immune system. Cupping Therapy: Involves the use of glass suction cups in which the pressure inside the cup is reduced. This reduced pressure creates a vacuum which draws blood and lymph to the area. The cups can remain stationary or be moved manually, causing a regional pulling of the skin and muscle. This therapy is especially helpful in the treatment of problems of local qi and/or blood stagnation in the meridians. Cupping stimulates the peripheral nervous system, brings blood flow to stagnant muscles and skin, loosens adhesions, connective tissue and stubborn soft tissue knots. This technique also aids in relieving cold and flu symptoms.
