Herbs
Herbal medicine is a powerful too to help support your body through the healing process.
Our board certified, licensed herbalist will evaluate you condition based on your symptoms, health history and clinical examination.
Herbal formulas can be prescribed in several forms: pill, tincture or granular tea form.
Your herbalist will work with you to determine the most appropriate form for you and your condition.
Cupping
Cupping therapy is a technique that has been used for centuries in many cultures. At Essence, we typically use traditionally Chinese Fire Cupping. The negative pressure created by the flame gently pulls the skin upward, loosening the fascia and muscle tissue below.
This treatment works great for muscle tension, asthma, increasing, circulation and more!
Light Therapy
Low-level light therapy uses red blue and near infrared LED lights to produce therapeutic treatment for skin, muscles and joints.
Light therapy works by targeting photoacceports in the cell mitochondria to increase production of ATP. This in turn can lead to increased circulation, tissue repair, collagen production, acne reduction and decrease in pain and inflammation.
Light therapy can be used anywhere on the body.
