Acupuncture, Asheville

^{_{This exciting, innovative treatment is combinations of massage and acupuncture techniques.� The massage modalities used are Neuromuscular, Tui Na, Gua Sha, and Zero Balancing.� Instead of using needles gemstones are used.� Using the gemstones instead of needles is a technique taken from classical Acupuncture text.�� Before the use of needles, gemstones were used, filed down to a point to activate the Qi of the point.� Ge Hong of the Han Dynasty was the first alchemist who compiled the first alchemical literature on gemstones and their use on Acupuncture points.

One of the major principles of Acupuncture is that Qi controls the blood.� By using bodywork physical stagnation is removed, improving blood flow.� Once circulation has opened, the blood is now in a readied state to be commanded by the Qi to go where it is needed for healing. Gemstones have a stronger permanence than needles due to their alchemical nature.� Gemstones are a combination of ores and minerals that create energetic fields that are more powerful than the steel of an acupuncture needle.�� Being that the there is no puncturing of the skin, the Qi is not activated in the same manner.� Yet the commanding of Qi by gemstones is a unique experience that truly brings the essence of Heavenly Qi in direct contact with the client. �}}
