Treatments
Gloria often combines acupuncture with therapeutic body work methods or massage. Treatments may begin with acupuncture, and then proceed into cupping or massage. Cupping is the application of glass cups, often performed on the upper back, but can also be done anywhere on the body. This is an ancient method used to invigorate circulation of blood to the area, helping to release stagnant qi and blood, and expel toxins. Cupping may sometimes leave slight marks on the skin for a few days, however it is painless and most patients find it a very relaxing part of the treatment.
The herb ‘Artemesia mugwort’, or moxa, is also used. During this procedure, Gloria uses a stick of the herb to warm the body directly through the skin or through attaching moxa cones on to the acupuncture needles already placed on the body. It provides a very comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable feeling of warmth throughout the body.
Chinese herbal medicine goes hand in hand with acupuncture and massage, as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Gloria prescribes herbs in pill form, to aid the patient’s recovery.
