Specialty Treatments

In our specialty services, we love to combine the penetrating and internal healing of herbal medicines with the external application of body work.

Quite often, we find ourselves infusing oils with things like ginger or eucalyptus, peppermint, or clove as well as using balms, analgesics and lineaments which are formulated with traditional herbal formulas that have been handed down through generations.

 

Our favourite featured services are the :


Hot Ginger Warming Treatment

Your choice of Acupuncture or Cupping on the areas of your choice. Followed by a warm ginger back compress. We then use the remaining warm ginger oil to massage the rest of your body. You will feel thoroughly warmed and relaxed.

 

Artemisia ( Moxibustion ) Infused Warming Treatment

Artemisia or Mugwort is the herb most often used in Chinese Medicine.

Typically it is often burned at the site of a needle or on a needle or in a box on the abdomen or back. It is done because no other herb introduces deep and penetrating warmth to the body. In fact in infrared video we can see the heat generated by Moxa distribute itself exactly along the meridian lines when no other heat application will travel in the body like this. It truly has its own intelligence and for this reason it is used so prolifically in clinic.

In our modern practice we typically don’t burn Artemisia because of the smoke and carbon but we do apply it in tincture or lineament form and then use our hot compress or our infrared mineral lamp to active it in the same manner. The results are amazing, deeply warming and penetrating therapy directed to the meridian lines we wish to treat. Great for achey low back pain It feels fabulous applied to the low back or we can even compress your knees for achey joints. We can also apply it to the abdomen to treat digestive issues or to optimize metabolism and promote weight loss.


Lavender Peppermint Scalp Massage

This treatment is designed with cooling in mind. While peppermint cools the body and the scalp the lavender helps stress and anxiety. We then massage this luxurious oil into your shoulders, neck and scalp. Added Acupressure points will have you drifting away in no time. ( Please note this treatment will oil you hair, also really good for your hair but perhaps book at the end of your day. )

 

Ultra Balm Compress

This treatment is to treat inflammation or deeply stiff muscles. Can be performed on its own or added to any service to enhance your Massage or Acupuncture experience. Ling Nam Ultra Balm is a combination of Wintergreen, Peppermint, Eucalyptus and Camphor Oil. It feels so good you have to try it!
