Moxa is a Chinese herb that can be use indirectly,
with acupuncture needles, or directly, on a patient's
skin. It is burnt over or near acupoint and is a method
of increasing heat and energy in the body and of
eliminating cold and damp in the body.
Moxa is not a massage, it is a TCM technic that the
practitioner uses with different therapies, such as
Acupuncture and Massage, or as a stand-alone
treatment.
Moxa also known as Moxibustion.

TuiNa massage is based on a full TCM (Traditional Chinese
Medicine) case history using the four exams to identify a
complaint, a pattern and treatment principles.
This full logical analysis is what gives TuiNa its power and
elevates it above other systems of massage. It uses the
flow of Qi through the meridians as its basic therapeutic
orientation. Through the application of massage and
manipulation techniques TuiNa seeks to establish a more
harmonious flow of Qi through the system of channels and
collaterals, allowing the body to naturally heal itself.
Based on the treatment principles, specific techniques are
combined to treat the presenting complaint and underlying
pattern.
The range of problems which can be treated by TuiNa is
very large and include not only musculo-skeletal problems,
but many internal diseases.
In a session, the client, wear loose clothing, lies on a table
or floor mat.

client and begins to apply an appropriate treatment.
The major focus is upon:
 | | specific pain sites
|
 | | acupressure points
|
 | | energy meridians
|
 | | muscles and joints
|
