Traditional Chinese medicine is one of the most natural and studied forms of traditional medicine. Its ultimate aim is to maintain the body in its optimal condition. For those struggling to keep well it restores the body to a state of optimum wellbeing and assists the body in healing itself. This age-old practice uses herbs, acupuncture, acupressure massage, food therapy, and mind-body exercise to stimulate healing. The first step in a TCM health program is to have a diagnostic consultation. In this treatment your TCM doctor will diagnose your whole body through pulse and tongue reading and a series of questions. This will provide an insight into which parts of your body are strong and which need support. Further to the advice your doctor provides in the consultation, you may be recommended other TCM or healing services to bring your body back to equilibrium. Is TCM right for you? TCM has been used for thousands of years to promote longevity, and a state of continuous wellbeing. It is helpful for those who wish to stay well or those who have a chronic or emerging condition they wish to address with natural health practices.

Cupping is a TCM therapy, used to remove stagnation and stimulate the flow of qi (chi). This therapeutic treatment involves warming and placing glass cups on the skin. By warming the air within the cup, a vacuum is created, and the skin tissue is drawn up into the cup. The effect is to increase the blood flow, loosen the fascia or connective tissue, and stimulate healing. Most often used to reduce pain and promote healing cupping may also be used to break up scar tissue. Depending on your condition the cups are most often placed on the back, neck, and shoulders. Cupping may cause temporary bruising and soreness, depending on the level of internal stagnation. The temporary bruising is considered a favorable outcome, suggesting the treatment has successfully removed toxins and stagnation. Cupping is recommended only after a TCM Diagnosis and Consultation.

Facial acupuncture involves inserting 40 to 70 tiny and painless needles into the skin of the face. As the needles puncture the skin, they create tiny wounds (barely visible) which are called positive microtraumas. When your body senses these microtraumas it goes into repair mode.
The microtraumas stimulate your lymphatic and circulatory system, which work together to deliver nutrients and oxygen to your skin cells, nourishing your skin from the inside out. This helps even out skin complexion and promote glow. The positive microtraumas also stimulate the production of collagen which helps improve elasticity, minimizing fine lines and wrinkles.
This treatment will leave you glowing!

When sound waves reach our ears, they are converted into electrical signals that travel up the auditory nerve into the auditory cortex, the part of the brain that processes sound. As the sound waves reach our brains, they trigger responses in our bodies. This process alters our emotions, releases hormones and chemicals that affect both our bodies and our moods, and triggers certain impulses (for example, singing and dancing). Many people who enjoy sound healing use it as a way to assist with anxiety, chronic pain, sleep disorders, PTSD, stress, and depression. Sound therapy often induces a state of meditation where deep healing can take place. Sound Healing may include Tibetan singing bowls, tuning forks and drumming. Sound Healing in BodyConscious may be private or booked as a class and can be combined with acupuncture for a deeper healing treatment.
