Both traditional needle acupuncture, aromatherapy point therapy and a newer tens-electrical stimulation of acu-points are the choices of treatment available at Flourishing Health clinic.  

Select essential oils have a warming, cooling, stimulating or penetrating actions, and when applied to the points commonly used topically, can induce a healing response in the body.

The tens is a regulated very small electrical current on a stylus. It does not enter the skin but slides along the top of it locating areas of tenderness and stimulates the movement of Qi (energy) and blood in this area. This gentle electrical stimulation is a way of giving a  treatment without puncturing the skin utilizing the same points that would be used in acupuncture to reduce pain or address a health challenge you may be experiencing. Heather also uses acupressure during some massages.

The World Health Association suggests acupuncture in the treatment of 143 disorders, so please inquire, and we will do our best to address your specific health challenge.
