Cosmetic Acupuncture is performed with a combination of facial and body points. It is a natural alternative to Botox fillers and surgery.

Cupping involves the application of glass or plastic cups which creates suction on the skin. This stimulates blood flow to the area and can be useful alone or with a combination of other treatments.

Moxibustion involves burning a combination of herbs, generally one being mugwort. This mix of herbs when used can have a rather pungent aroma, it creates a feeling of warmth and relaxation.

Metabolic imbalance testing provides an insight into how your system is functioning and allows any dietary alterations and specific supplementation requirements to be established.
