Acupuncture is an effective method of encouraging natural healing and improved function within the body. At Mountain Herb Acupuncture, Japanese style is the preferred method which uses the thinnest gauge needles with subtle manipulation. 

Research shows that acupuncture stimulates endorphins (a neurotransmitter) and other brain chemicals that promote circulation and hormonal balance, as well as reduce pain and inflammation. By facilitating the flow of qi (energy), treatment with acupuncture can bring the body back to equilibrium, freeing up blockages physically and emotionally.  

 Cupping & Gua sha are ancient techniques that can be used to relieve acute or chronic pain, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, support the immune system, address upper respiratory illnesses, as well release tension in areas where there is restricted movement. 

Cupping uses small suction cups or sliding cups on the skin to bring up stagnant blood and toxin, and improve circulation. In Gua sha we use a smooth hand held tool to press and stroke on skin to improve circulation. The reddened marks indicate where some stagnation or heat is trapped in the body.

AAT stands for Aroma Point Therapy and is a profoundly effective treatment. As an aromatic plant medicine, essential oils have an affect on the mind and body. The Aroma Point Therapy technique involves applying certain oils on acupuncture points to trigger positive change on physical, mental, and emotional levels.  

Diet, nutrition, and lifestyle are a cornerstone of holistic healing and growth. We believe in making small intentional changes to create permanent behavior change. During a consultation, we work with you to develop a custom plan that best suits your health goals.
