The number of treatments depends upon the duration, severity and nature of your health condition. Two or three treatments may be sufficient for an acute condition, while a series of 5 to 15 treatments may be needed to resolve chronic conditions.

Techniques used may include: moxibustion (burning herbs to heat acupoints), cupping (suction, facilitates the flow of Qi to remove toxin build up in tissues, and reduce spasms), auricular therapy (ear acupuncture), tui na (manipulation or a special oriental massage therapy to relax muscle, improve blood flow, reduce tissue adhesions and mobilize joints), and acupressure.
