What We Do
Acupuncture Treatment
Acupuncture is a key healing technique of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has been developed, practiced, and improved for over 3,500 years in Ancient China. Today, it has been popularized and greatly exposed to the world as an increasingly important component of world medicine. When performed by a trained professional, acupuncture is a safe practice used to treat pain, improve overall wellness, and more.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on an ancient philosophy that describes the universe, and the body, in terms of two opposing forces: Yin and Yang. When these forces are in balance, the body is healthy. Energy, called "Qi" (pronounced "chee") flows along specific pathways, called meridians, throughout the body. This constant flow of energy keeps the Yin and Yang forces balanced. However, if the flow of energy gets blocked, like water getting stuck behind a dam, the disruption can lead to pain, lack of function, or illness.
Acupuncture treatment can release blocked qi in the body and stimulate function, evoking the body’s natural healing response through various physiological systems. Modern research has demonstrated acupuncture’s effects on the nervous system, endocrine and immune systems, cardiovascular system, and digestive system. By stimulating the body’s various systems, acupuncture can help to resolve pain, and improve sleep, digestive function, and sense of well-being.
Acupuncture can be a standalone treatment for symptoms, but it can also be used in conjunction with other techniques like pressure, heat, or electrical stimulation. The application of herbal medicines can also aid the effects and degree of success acupuncture may achieve for a patient.
Facial Acupuncture
Facial Acupuncture s a rejuvenating skin therapy that involves the precise insertion of small, sterile needles into specific facial acupuncture points. This technique aims to enhance Qi and blood circulation, promoting overall skin health, beauty, and anti-aging benefits. Beyond addressing facial concerns, specific body acupoints may also be targeted to boost the body's well-being to alleviate various health issues such as digestive problems, hormonal imbalances, and sleep disorders.
The advantages of Facial Acupuncture are numerous. Firstly, it effectively reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in a more youthful and tightened skin. Additionally, the increased blood flow and oxygenation contribute to the treatment of dark spots, dark circles around the eyes, and can even treat facial paralysis.
Moreover, Facial Acupuncture can assist in lymphatic drainage, reducing issues such as double chin, puffiness, and bags under the eyes. This treatment aids in improving facial contours, clearing excess heat or inflammation, addressing acne, and reducing facial redness. The overall outcome is a healthy complexion that radiates brightness and tone, achieving a visibly rejuvenated and refreshed appearance.
Therapeutic Massage (Tuina)

It aids in the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, fostering a sense of relaxation and reducing anxiety. Furthermore, massage therapy can improve sleep quality, boost immune function, and even elevate mood by reducing cortisol levels.
Beyond the physical advantages, massage therapy nurtures mental and emotional wellness. It provides a sanctuary for self-care, allowing individuals to disconnect from the stresses of daily life, find inner calmness, and reconnect with their bodies.

Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The practice can be dated back to as early as 3000 B.C. Cupping is all about circulation. Stationary cups are placed over an area of skin and left for a period of 10 to 15 minutes. The purpose of cupping therapy is to move the stagnation of Qi and blood by creating pressure from suction, which will bring an increased flow of nutrients to the area. The area will be nourished and its toxins will be carried away via opened pores. This can relieve conditions of both acute and chronic pain. Some other benefits of cupping therapy include alleviation of the common cold, allergies, nervous system sedation, release of tension and can even relieve adhesion.
Lymphatic Drainage
The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in your immune system, maintaining fluid balance and safeguarding against infections. When this system malfunctions or becomes obstructed, excess fluids can accumulate in tissues. Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle therapeutic approach specifically designed to target the lymphatic system. By delicately encouraging the movement of trapped fluids through lymph nodes, located in areas like the neck, armpits, and groin, this massage facilitates quicker filtration of viruses or bacteria. The benefits of lymphatic drainage massage are diverse, including:
- Strengthening immunity
- Enhancing lymphatic flow
- Alleviating swelling
- Easing fatigue
- Improving circulation
- Decreasing inflammation
- Accelerating recovery from illness
- Inducing deep relaxation
- Reducing cellulite
- Enhancing skin health
- Improving digestion
- Promoting a glowing, unblemished complexion
- Assisting with breastfeeding
- Boosting energy levels
- Preventing lymph-edema
This therapeutic massage offers a holistic approach to well-being, addressing various aspects of health and promoting overall vitality.
Jing's Chinese (Herbal) Medicine
Medicinal herbs have been utilized in Chinese and Asian cultures for over 5000 years. The fundamental idea of living in harmony and finding balance with nature and one’s surroundings forms the basis for the use of Chinese herbs as well as the traditional Chinese approach to health and wellness. The knowledge and practice of Chinese herbs in modern times is one of the greatest gifts from China to mankind.
Chinese health philosophy promotes an equal balance of Yin and Yang- the two forces present in all of nature. When Yin or Yang forces or Qi and blood levels are off-balance in the body and spirit, health problems arise manifested as low energy or discomfort in the body.
