Acupuncture | Moxibustion | Cupping | Guasha

Direct moxa/moxibustion is a heat application treatment on the acupuncture points on skin directly with the use of a herb called "Moxa".

In moxibustion, usually a grain-size cone of moxa or dry yellow spongy substance made from a herbal plant "mugwort " is placed on the acupoints with shiunko cream and lit with an incense stick. The patient experiences a very comfortable sensation of heat

Moxibustion in general has more or less the same efficacy as acupuncture. However, medical experiments have shown that moxibustion exerts much wider and stronger effect on overall biochemical changes in the body than acupuncture

• boost the effect of acupuncture treatments

• improve the immune system, (killer T-cells)
• stimulate pelvic blood-flow
• prevent disease & maintain health
• help cancer patients sustain their red blood cell count and strengthen their immune systems during radiation treatment.

Pediatric Tuina

Pediatric Tuina is a massage branched out from Traditional Chinese Medicine over a thousand years ago.

It has been extensively practised in China for at least 700 years and experience has revealed unique ways and means of affecting the energy flow in the bodies of young children.

Babies have meridian systems that are not fully developed, yet every aspect of a baby's growth and development depends on Qi flow and its correct balance.

It is during the first five years of a child's life that the most important physical, neurological and behavioural developments take place. This is the time when disturbances to the flow and diffusion of vital Qi and its balance between the organs can have the most seriously harmful and lasting effects. These include retarded brain development, weakened immune response and slow development of the musculo-skeletal system.

Benefits of Pediatric Tuina


Pediatric Tuina is found very effective for infants & children between 6 months to 6 years old. Illnesses of all kinds are the result of some disturbance to the normal flow of Qi. Therapists & parents can help restore this flow to treat most of the common health issue in babies & children:


  • ADHD/ADD
  • Asthma
  • Colds
  • Colic
  • Constipation/Diarrhea

    Pediatric Tuina uses a whole system of points and pathways that often do not correspond with any of the adult ones. Tuina Chinese massage for babies is powerful medicine and when performed correctly, its effects are profound.

    Pediatric Tuina is ranged from 15 - 30 minutes: $55
  • Back Walking
