To help you with maintaining health and wellness during this time of COVID-19, we are offering virtual sessions.
During these virtual sessions, we will move through an acupuncture treatment together over a live video call utilizing the power of acupressure. We will cater the rest of the session to your needs which could include an herbal prescription, qi gong exercises, deep breathing, meditation, nutritional guidance, or simply connecting in a supportive conversation.
You amy ask yourself is acupressure truly effective to help me maintain health?
Acupressure is indeed highly effective.
Acupressure utilizes the same points and medical theory used in acupuncture.
In acupressure, using your hands and fingers, pressure is applied to specific points on the body instead of the insertion of an acupuncture needle.
The pressure stimulates the nervous system and creates blood flow which in turn helps the body’s biomechanics to function properly and allow the body to heal itself.
Along with your symptoms subsiding, you will feel a peaceful nourishing relaxation similar to when you receive acupuncture.
Due to its excellent results, acupuncturists will even use acupressure in their clinics on children, patients with highly sensitive nervous systems, and occasionally on those afraid of needles.
Once you learn point locations appropriate for your symptoms you’re able to stimulate them throughout the day for relief.
Acupuncture will have a deeper more permanent effect on your nervous system but acupressure is vital and beneficial to learn for your immune, physical, and mental health during this time of social distancing.
For the science-minded, here’s a great study that affirms it’s benefit in a variety of medical cases: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3154967/
Herbs will also be effective during this time. Chinese herbal medicine is like getting acupuncture when you are at home. We will ask you specific questions and look at your tongue to determine what herbal formula will be best for you. Chinese herbal medicine is effective for many different health ailments such as pain, stress, anxiety, fertility, and digestive issues.
Not only are these treatments effective for continued care during a time of isolation, but they are also extremely valuable to those who are sick (including COVID-19) or have pressing matters in need of treatment with no access to Western medicine.
