Harmony Health Acupuncture & Herbs

Chinese herbal medicine is the core therapy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Through natural herbal formulations, it adjusts the body's functions to achieve a "treating both the root and the branch" effect. Unlike Western medicine, which mainly suppresses symptoms or directly eliminates bacteria and viruses, Chinese herbal medicine enhances the body's self-healing ability, helping the body repair itself for true recovery.

​

💡 What Health Issues Can Chinese Herbal Medicine Address?

✅ Acute Diseases: Such as colds, fever, headaches, sore throat, inflammation, gastrointestinal discomfort, and infections. It helps the body recover quickly.
✅ Chronic Diseases: Including fatigue, chronic pain, stubborn coughs, allergic conditions, arthritis, gastrointestinal disorders, etc. It works to adjust the body’s constitution from the root and reduce the chances of recurrence.
✅ Women's Health and Fertility: For issues such as menstrual pain, irregular periods, menopause discomfort, and infertility. Chinese herbal medicine balances hormones and improves reproductive health.

📖 Classic TCM Wisdom for Modern Health Challenges

"Shang Han Lun" (Treatise on Cold Damage) is a classic TCM text, and its formulas are still widely used today to treat flu, viral infections, and other diseases. Because modern people have similar constitutions to those of ancient times, many classic Chinese herbal formulas are still applicable. These formulas not only shorten the duration of illness but also boost immunity and reduce the chances of future illness.

Cupping therapy is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment that involves placing specially designed glass or plastic cups on the skin to create a vacuum suction in specific areas. This negative pressure promotes local blood circulation, helps eliminate dampness and cold from the body, relaxes muscles, relieves pain, and stimulates the body's self-healing ability.

​

Main Benefits of Cupping Therapy

✅ Promote blood circulation: Cupping stimulates microcirculation, accelerates lymphatic flow, and ensures smoother Qi and blood circulation, reducing blood stagnation and blockages in the meridians.
✅ Relieve muscle pain and stiffness: Particularly effective for long-term shoulder and neck stiffness, back pain, muscle fatigue after exercise, helping to relax muscles and reduce tension.
✅ Dispel wind and cold, improve constitution: Hong Kong’s humid and changing climate often leads to wind, cold, and dampness invading the body, causing joint discomfort and fatigue. Cupping helps expel cold and enhances the body’s ability to adapt to the environment.
✅ Boost immunity and help with colds and coughs: By stimulating the meridians and acupoints, cupping helps detoxify the body, promote lung function, and is especially beneficial for recurrent colds, chronic coughs, and asthma patients.
✅ Improve digestive function: Cupping can regulate the spleen and stomach, promote digestion, and reduce issues like bloating, loss of appetite, and indigestion.

​

Symptoms That Can Benefit from Cupping Therapy

🔹 Shoulder and neck pain, back pain, muscle stiffness (for office workers, athletes, or those who frequently look down at their phones)
🔹 Colds, coughs, bronchial sensitivity (boost immunity, help expel phlegm, relieve cough)
🔹 Joint pain, rheumatism, cold-damp arthritis (for those with heavy internal dampness or poor circulation)
🔹 Excessive stress, insomnia, mental fatigue (through regulating Qi and blood, helping the body and mind relax)
🔹 Indigestion, bloating, constipation (stimulating the meridians to help improve gastrointestinal motility)

​

Post-Cupping Care

🔸 After cupping, the skin may show bruising, which typically fades naturally within 3-7 days. This is a normal reaction as stagnation in the body is being cleared.
🔸 Avoid bathing within 2-3 hours after cupping to prevent cold from invading the body.
🔸 Drink plenty of warm water to promote metabolism and accelerate the elimination of toxins from the body.

Moxibustion is a commonly used natural therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves burning dried mugwort (processed into moxa wool or moxa sticks) near the skin or directly on specific acupuncture points to create a warming effect, which promotes the circulation of Qi and blood, dispels cold, and regulates body functions. Moxibustion not only enhances immunity but is particularly effective for conditions such as colds, chronic pain, gynecological issues, and digestive system imbalances.

​

Main Benefits of Moxibustion

✅ Warm the meridians and promote Qi and blood circulation: The heat from moxibustion penetrates deeply into the skin, unblocking the meridians where Qi and blood flow is stagnated, improving blood circulation and reducing blockages and pain.
✅ Dispel cold and dampness, improve constitution: Suitable for those who feel cold, have cold hands and feet, are prone to colds, or suffer from rheumatic joint pain. Moxibustion helps the body expel cold and dampness, strengthening resistance to disease.
✅ Boost immunity and prevent colds: Moxibustion regulates the body's vital Qi, enhancing its ability to resist illness and reducing recurrent colds, nasal sensitivity, and bronchial issues.
✅ Relieve chronic pain: The warming effect of moxibustion helps relieve pain from conditions such as stiff shoulders and neck, back pain, arthritis, and menstrual cramps, promoting local healing.
✅ Regulate gynecological and digestive health: Moxibustion is commonly used to improve menstrual irregularities, menstrual pain, cold womb infertility, indigestion, stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation, and other issues.

​

Symptoms That Can Benefit from Moxibustion

🔹 Colds, coughs, bronchial sensitivity (boost immunity, help the body fight viruses)
🔹 Cold hands and feet, body chills (promote blood circulation, improve yang deficiency)
🔹 Menstrual pain, irregular periods, cold womb infertility (warm the uterus, improve female health)
🔹 Stomach pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea (regulate digestive function, improve indigestion)
🔹 Joint pain, back pain, rheumatic pain (warm the meridians and relieve pain and muscle stiffness)
🔹 Excessive stress, insomnia, fatigue (harmonize Qi and blood, help the body relax, improve sleep quality)

Post-Moxibustion Care

🔸 After moxibustion, the body will expel cold and sweat, so it’s recommended to avoid wind or taking a shower immediately to prevent cold from invading.
🔸 Drink plenty of warm water to help with metabolism and enhance detoxification.

Gua Sha is a traditional TCM therapy that uses special scraping tools to scrape the surface of the skin, promoting Qi and blood circulation, improving circulation, and accelerating the body’s self-repair process. During the treatment, a lubricant (such as Gua Sha oil or herbal essential oil) is applied to the skin, followed by scraping along the meridians. Common areas treated include the back, neck, shoulders, and limbs.

✅ Relieve muscle soreness and stiffness: Effectively reduces shoulder and neck pain, back discomfort, arthritis, and muscle fatigue after exercise.

✅ Boost immunity and improve cold symptoms: Gua Sha helps the body expel wind and cold, making it especially effective for early-stage colds, headaches, nasal congestion, fever, and other symptoms.
✅ Relieve stress and fatigue: By scraping along the meridians, Gua Sha relaxes tense muscles, helping the body release stress and reduce fatigue.

​

Post-Gua Sha Care

🔹 After the treatment, keep the body warm and avoid wind or cold showers to prevent cold from invading.
🔹 Drink plenty of warm water to help the body expel metabolic waste and speed up recovery.
