Balance Your Qi in Redondo Beach

Acupuncture and Eastern Medicine are used to treat an array of conditions, diseases, and imbalances by utilizing a holistic approach to healing. It is done by inserting tiny needles along the meridians, or energy lines of the body.

When a needle is inserted into the soft tissue, it creates a microtrauma, signaling your body to send more nutrient-rich blood flow to the area to promote healing and reduce inflammation. It also signals the brain to release feel-good hormones and endorphins that help reduce pain, improve mood and energy, and relax the nervous system.

Common ailments that respond well to acupuncture include:

  • Acne
  • Allergies
  • Amenorrhea (absence of period)
  • Anxiety
  • Chronic and acute pain
  • Common Cold and Flu Symptoms

  • Digestive Issues

The recommended course of treatment is 10-12 weeks for best results.

Cupping

Mind-Body Connection
Cupping therapy has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for roughly 3,000 years to restore the body's natural flow of Qi, blood, and energy. Using fire and glass cups to create suction, the negative pressure can help relieve pain, sedate the nervous system, promote blood flow, increase blood circulation while decreasing inflammation, promote lymphatic drainage, boost immunity and treat symptoms of the common cold and flu, assist weight loss, and improve digestion, skin conditions, asthma, and respiratory function.

Gua Sha

Restore the Body
A therapeutic approach involves scraping the skin using a specialized tool typically made of crystal, stone, or bone. Gua Sha restores balance in the body by increasing blood flow, breaking up scar tissue, and decreasing inflammation to relieve pain and improve the movement of joints. In addition to that, it can also soothe stress, release tension, improve immunity, treat fevers, headaches, and migraines. This ancient healing technique is also used in facial rejuvenation to improve fine lines, wrinkles, tone sagging skin, and relax tight facial muscles by promoting more blood circulation and lymphatic drainage to the face, increasing collagen and elastin production while giving your skin a beautiful glow.

Herbal Remedies

Natural Healing
Herbal medicine is based on the use of plants, minerals, and animal extracts for their therapeutic properties. Since ancient times, herbal powders, tablets, and tinctures have been used by many different cultures throughout the world to treat illness, assist the body and restore balance for optimal functioning. Herbal medicine works in conjunction with acupuncture treatments to address specific conditions by providing nourishment on the cellular level while acupuncture addresses the physical body.

Nutrition

Whole Food Medicine
Diet is one of the most important ways of healing the body and mind from within. Food is our first medicine, and what you put in your body can either heal or harm you. With nutrition counseling, we can work toward optimizing your energy, sleep, mental focus, mood, and whole-body balance.
