1) Traditional Medical Acupuncture (TCM or TKM)

Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into specific 670 points of the body to achieve a certain therapeutic effect, regulating the body energy through the specific meridians which correspond to the major organ system.

​

2) Moxibustion

Moxibustion  is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy which consists of burning dried mugwort (moxa) on particular points on the body. It plays an important role in the traditional medical systems of China (including Tibet), Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and Mongolia. Suppliers usually age the mugwort and grind it up to a fluff; practitioners burn the fluff or process it further into a cigar-shaped stick. They can use it indirectly, with acupuncture needles, or burn it on the patient's skin.
