NO NEEDLE TECHNIQUES
ACUPUNCTURE
is a safe and effective holistic medicine backed by more than 3000 years of practice and research. It works by the insertion of mono filament needles into energy(Qi) points to activate and balance of the energy flow in the body. Acupuncture could also be together with Electrical stimulation and Moxibustion (heat therapy, by burning medicinal herbs over the energy points).
The modern scientific explanation is that needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system and progressive increases in the secretion of neuro-transmitters, serotonin and endorphins in particular; and activation of the body’s natural healing process (i.e., stimulation of the adrenal glands to secret corticosteroid).

CUPPING
is a method of treating disease that is caused by local congestion. A partial vacuum is created in a cupping jar, usually by means of heat, which is then applied directly to the skin. The underlying tissue is drawn up into the jar forming an area of blood stasis. This appears to bruise the area, or at least turn it a bright red. The amount of dark red or even purple blood drawn to the surface indicates the degree of stagnation. Dark blood is a sign of stagnation, which in many cases in modern terms is the amount of toxins in the blood.
In ancient times, animal horns and bamboo jars were used, principally to drain pustulating sores. Later this method was used to treat consumptive and rheumatic diseases. Today jars are made mostly out of glass to standard sizes and specifications, although bamboo jars are still occasionally used.
MOXIBUSTION
commonly shortened to being called Moxa, is the use of an herb called Artemesia Vulgaris or commonly, mugwort, which is burned over particular areas or specific acupuncture points. Moxa has a warming, invigorating quality and is generally used to treat conditions of weakness by bringing extra energy into the acupuncture points and channels, or to expel cold and damp pathogens from the channels.
Loose Moxa is commonly rolled into a ball and placed over a piece of fresh ginger, onto a specific area of the body or acupuncture point. Ginger adds to the warming energy of the moxa and serves as a barrier between the moxa and skin.
Moxa also comes in tightly rolled sticks which can be held directly over acupuncture points or channels.

QI-GONG
The word Qigong (pronounced “chee gong”) is a combination of two ideas: “Qi” means air, breath of life, or vital energy of the body, and “gong” means the skill of working with, or cultivating, self-discipline and achievement.
The art of Qigong consists primarily of meditation, relaxation, physical movement, mind-body integration, and breathing exercises. Practitioners of Qigong develop an awareness of qi sensations (energy) in their body and use their mind to guide the Qi. When the practitioners achieve a sufficient skill level (master), they can direct or emit external Qi for the purpose of healing others.
For thousands of years, millions of people have benefited from Qigong practices and believed that improving the function of Qi maintains health and heals disease. In traditional Chinese medicine, good health is a result of a free flowing, well-balanced energy system. It is believed that regular practice of Qigong helps to cleanse the body of toxins, restore energy, reduce stress and anxiety, and help individuals maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.
It has been said that Qigong is one of the most powerful healing traditions ever developed in human history. It is literally a health wonder of the world.
