Andrea practices Traditional
Chinese Medicine, which includes the following treatment methods:
Traditional Chinese Acupuncture - The insertion
of super-fine needles into the skin at specific acupuncture points
to move qi, blood, and fluids in the body.
Traditional Japanese Acupuncture - A style
of acupuncture that also uses fine needles but with a more shallow
insertion. There is an emphasis on palpation and direct moxibustion.
Moxibustion Therapy - A soothing and warming
process that involves the burning of moxa (Chinese Mugwort) over
areas of the body or individual acupuncture points.
Chinese Herbal Medicine - Chinese herbs and
medicinals can either be taken internally in the form of teas and
pills, or applied externally in the form of poultices, plasters,
and ointments. Herbal prescriptions are based on each individual's
condition and diagnosis.
Tui Na Massage - A form of Traditional Chinese
medical massage and acupressure that is used in combination with
acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to treat a wide range of
conditions.
Cupping - A technique in which small glass
cups are placed on the skin via suction created by heat. This process
stimulates blood flow and moves qi and feels like a deep tissue
massage.
Dietary Advice - Differing from western nutritional
advice, this is based on each individual's condition, lifestyle
needs and Chinese medical diagnosis.
Other healing arts - Including breathing techniques,
Chinese sleeping practices, Tai Ji, and Qi Gong.
