Moxibustion (Moxa) Class*
This traditional method of stimulating acupuncture points with heat by burning mugwort in various forms, can easily be performed at home. We offer moxa sticks, stick-on moxa cones, and burning bowls to patients. Treatments with moxa are gentle, warming and especially indicated for patients with deficiency and more chronic types of illness.
Kyndl will teach the theory behind moxibustion, what conditions it is indicated for and how to use different forms of moxa to safely treat oneself and family.
*We will be burning moxa during class for demos. If you have a smoke allergy or severe asthma, this class may not be a good fit for you.
Time and Date TBD

Cupping Class
Join Kyndl and Hannah to learn about a variety of applications for cupping and explore different cupping sets that are easy to use at home for self-care, pain management and injury recovery. Cupping can be used on the back to support the organs, promotes detoxing and treat early stages of colds. It can even be used on the abdomen for digestive disorders and painful periods.

Gua Sha Class
Hannah and Kyndl teach about Gua Sha tools and techniques, and demonstrate how to safely practice this therapy at home, for self-care.
Gua Sha is a traditional method of brushing and scraping the skin that you may have experienced here in our clinic. Areas most often treated are the neck, shoulders and back, but other painful areas respond well too (carpal tunnel with tense forearms or tendonitis at the elbows, for example). Brushing may be vigorous or gentle, depending on the patient. The goal is to bring redness or "sha" up to the surface to vent out pathogens or "evil qi".
This therapy is extremely helpful for opening up the muscles, fascia and tendons. It can be used in early stages of illness to support the lungs, and later on for stubborn cough. If you or your family members have asthma, are frequently sick, have chronic muscle tension, pain, or tendonitis, you will love having this option for at-home treatments!
Sunday, May 17th, from 3pm-5pm at Springs Community Acupuncture clinic
If you missed it, we plan to offer it again in the fall.
