treatments offer
Terra offers a natural and holistic approach to medicine, that promotes healing and wellness through healthy alternatives to traditional medicine. Terra strongly feels it is our responsibility as healthcare practitioners to encourage and to educate our patients to take care of their own health. Let the healing process begin with Terra Acupuncture & Herb.
Acupuncture
It is a form of treatment that involves inserting very thin needles through a person’s skin at specific points on the body, to various depths. Research suggests that it can help relieve pain, and it is used for a wide range of other complaints.
Chinese Herbs
Rather than prescribing specific herbs, practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine typically combine a number of different herbs in formulas selected depending on the patient’s individual needs. These formulas may be given as teas, capsules, tinctures, or powders.
Cupping / Gua Sha
Cupping is a technique in which a vacuum is created within a cup using heat, this can stimulate lymphatic and blood flow to an area to remove toxins and facilitate healing. “Gua” means scrape, & “Sha” means rash. It is a firm, unidirectional pressure stroke to an area on the body using a blunt tool. Gua sha has been used to treat many different types of medical problems such as pain.
