Cupping
Cupping therapy is an ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practice that involves suctioning or vacuuming sections of the body.
About Cupping
Cupping therapy is a minimally invasive treatment. Glass cups are warmed with a flame to create a vacuum. The cups can also be heated by swabbing rubbing alcohol on the bottom and then lighting the cup. It can also be done by placing an inverted cup over a flame to aid in suctioning.When placed over a specific area, the vacuum anchors the cup to the skin and pulls it upward. Drawing up the skin supports the opening of skin pores. The suction effect of cupping also breaks the blood vessels underneath skin, causing hyperaemia in the area. The self-healing process is activated when the body receives signals of this minor injury.
A series of chemical reactions follow, aiding an increase of blood circulation and lymphatic flow. The enhanced blood flow helps your body by flushing built-up toxins through the lymphatic system which is responsible for eliminating your body’s toxins and waste,

Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been used as a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for many years. It is especially effective for the relief of acute or chronic pain and prevention or treatment of various diseases. It involves the painless insertion of ultra-thin single use needles into specific points on the body called acupoints, to "re-balance" the flow of the body's energy.
Facial Acupuncture
Praised for hundreds of years in Asia for its anti-age benefits, facial acupuncture brings about a revolution in our quest for beauty. Facial acupuncture has various health benefits for us just like the other acupuncture Hong Kong treatments that Balance Health and wellness center offers. It can reduce wrinkles, lift sagging skin, eliminate fine lines and improve skin colour and texture. Many have found it to be effective even after one treatment.

“Michelle approaches with curiosity, warmth and made me feel comfortable immediately”
During the cupping and acupuncture session she was very detailed and again made me feel comfortable with her thorough guidance. She also recommended some Chinese herbs to help with my sleep which is also a contributing factor to my injuries.
