Holistic Facial Acupuncture
Classical Acupuncture emphasis "one acupuncture point can treat many diseases!" The point choice is carefully considered with balance heaven, man, and earth in mind.
As a life long student of Daoist lineage (Dr.Jeffrey Yuen), I tend to follow the old daoist way, which come to me natually. I grow up with this culture, and that is part of me.
To me, a real acupuncture treatment is not just about treating a person for his pain. Looking into the root cause that creates the pain is the key to true healing. Therefore, my treatment would sometimes involves breathing exercise, meditation, healing sounds, etc.
I take diagnosis seriouslly, therefore initial consultation takes time. And that tells me what's need to be fix.

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
I practice Dr Bruni Chickly's method of Lymphatic drainage therapy. I was trained in Hong Kong at the year 2005.
LDT is a gentle technique that works through the body's interstitial and lymphatic system to activat e the body liquid circulation and stimulate the functioning of the immune and parasympathetic nervous systems.
LDT can assist the body to perceive and respond to the body's innate ability to heal itself.
The treatment reroute the lymph by following the subtle indications given by the body enhancing the healing process.
This eliminates mental mistakes in assuming we know what the body needs and therefore enforcing pathways that are not optimal.
Honoring the intelligence of the body ensures deeper and long lasting results.

Fire Cupping
Cupping is an alternative Chinese medicine which involves placing suction cups made from bamboo, silicone, or glass on the body. It is a form of massage often used alongside acupuncture therapy, although it can be done on its own. Although cupping appears to be a relatively new technique it originated in ancient China and has actually been around for thousands of years!
Though primarily used for pain relief and muscle relaxation, research is now investigating the effects of cupping on conditions like fibromyalgia and arthritis. .

How does it work?
Cupping is believed to mobilise blood flow to the skin creating a mild immune response and increasing anti-inflammatory chemicals in the body. It draws stagnant blood to the surface and improves blood circulation to the tissues. It stretches tight muscles and fascia making it a beneficial treatment for athletes.
Benefits of cupping
Pain reduction
Cupping, particularly moving cupping, has similar effects to a massage and is therefore beneficial in relieving muscular pain. Although further research investigating the effects of cupping on fibromyalgia needs to be done, one investigation found that cupping therapy was more effective at reducing pain intensity than regular care.
Releases muscle tension
Cupping softens muscle tissue and helps to relieve muscle knots which results in looser feeling, more flexible muscles.
Improves digestion/relieves digestive disorders
Cupping is thought to improve digestion through relaxing the whole body. Stress, anxiety, and muscle tension can lead to congestion and stagnation in the digestive system.
