All the parts of the body have a correspondence at the level of the ear. The body is indeed represented in the form of a fetus with its head down.
Auriculotherapy is interesting for both acute and chronic problems, it is also very effective for smoking cessation.
Chinese massages " Tui Na An Mo
Therapeutic massage that acts on the circulation of vital energy, the Qi (pronounced Tchi) through the body.
The Qi circulates through channels called meridians.
Chinese massage, using pressure, manipulation and rubbing on acupuncture points and meridians, allows the Qi to circulate in the meridians and to balance the energies.
It promotes energy and blood circulation and helps to reduce and eliminate pain.
Cupping
Complementary method to acupuncture, designed to treat congestive or inflammatory conditions using glass or bamboo ampoules.
They are useful for stimulating the circulation of energy and blood, eliminating humidity and cold and reducing pain.
Moxibustion or moxa
Moxibustion consists of burning a plant stick, called moxa, in the immediate vicinity of the acupuncture points.
The moxa is made of mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris Latiflora), a plant with medicinal properties.
The moxa is used to heat and stimulate certain acupuncture points.
This activates blood circulation, evacuates cold and humidity and restores vital energy.
Chinese herbal medicine
Prescription of formulas composed of leaves, roots, stems, bark, seeds or flowers of many cultivated or wild plants.
These formulas have been used for thousands of years and the Chinese knowledge of how to grow, harvest, prepare and combine these all-natural plants is very important.
