Are you wondering what treatment you want to book for your next appointment: Cupping? Guasha? Or Tuina?
The answer to this question is not simple.

first, let’s compare cupping and gua sha: Gua sha is a treatment very similar to cupping and works on the same basis. Both treatments are performed to relieve the stagnation of qi.

Cupping involves placing cups on the skin to create suction, and the suction increases blood circulation to the area.

During gua sha, a flat smooth tool is used to gently scrape the tissues and muscles to break down muscle adhesions and help fresh blood flow.

Cupping should be applied in an area with abundant muscles like the back, abdomen, thighs, and legs.

On the other hand, gua sha can be used both on the muscular area like the back and shoulders and on areas with tiny muscles like the neck and face as well as joints.
I find both techniques to serve as a diagnostic tool and a treatment based on how the tissue responds. In my opinion, if you have tension & tightness in the back of your head and neck, book in for a gua sha treatment, but if you have shoulder, lower back & hip pain, cupping is a better choice for you.

▶️On the other hand, Tui na is a Chinese massage that stimulates the flow of qi to promote balance and harmony within the body using many of the same principles of acupuncture.
▶️ The goal of tuina massage is to create harmony in the body's yin and yang by removing blockages and disturbances that manifest as illness, disease, and emotional issues.
▶️ Also, passive joint movements are used to restore muscles and joint function.
▶️Tuina massage can be used to treat pain and illness or to maintain good health.
✅️ The technique is effective in reducing stress, encouraging relaxation, and deepening sleep. It’s often used for conditions and injuries related to the musculoskeletal and nervous systems.
✅️Tuina massage is often used to improve function and reduce pain affecting the joints, bones, and muscles.
✅️If you have headaches (migraine or tension headache), stress & anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, and musculoskeletal disorders, it is better to book both treatments of acupuncture and tui na to address these issues.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a safe, natural alternative therapy that restores your youthful glow without the potential risks of invasive surgical procedures and injections.
It is the only cosmetic medical treatment that improves your health.

Generally, 10-12 sessions are recommended for one course of treatment, with each session lasting 60-90 minutes.
Treatments are performed one to three times weekly, with a day of rest between multiple sessions. Some people notice a difference after just the first treatment, but most should notice results by the sixth or seventh treatment.

Maintenance sessions are recommended, but the need varies from person to person.
With maintenance treatments, the results can last 3-5 years.

What is fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes pain all over the body, sleep problems, fatigue, and often emotional and mental distress.

No test can determine whether someone has fibromyalgia. Instead, diagnosing fibromyalgia is a process of exclusion.

How is fibromyalgia treated?
At the moment, there is no magic bullet to relieve fibromyalgia.
Generally, fibromyalgia should be treated by a team of health care professionals with a combination of treatments.

At Gathered Roots, we provide a safe, natural, and effective way to address the symptoms of fibromyalgia. We recommend receiving acupuncture every week for up to 12-15 sessions in order to complete one course of treatment.
Then, to maintain the results, the treatment can be done every 3-4 weeks, depending on the severity of symptoms.

How does rejuvenation facial acupuncture work?
Facial acupuncture can increase local collagen production, which fills in fine lines.

The inserted needles also improve blood circulation, allowing for better delivery of nutrients to the face and elimination of water and toxins away from the face.
While the bony structure of the face is not changed, relaxing tight muscles and improving the tone of weak muscles alter the soft structure and shape of the face.
Some of the benefits of facial rejuvenation include:
an improvement in the firmness and moisture of the skin;
a tightening of the pores;
a reduction in dark circles or puffiness under the eyes;
a lifting of sagging skin, double chins, and drooping eyelids;
and a healthy, glowing complexion.
