Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed.
This can relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair.
It can also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.

Modern cupping is often performed using glass cups that are rounded like balls and open on one end.

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs used together are very effective in treating various diseases.
The herbs recommended are based on the patient's tongue and pulse as well as other displayed symptoms.
Chinese Herbs are grouped into specific categories according to their properties and tastes.
For example, they can be warming or cooling and taste bitter or sweet in nature.
The human body is designed to live and thrive on whole food and fresh water, so why wouldn't the body also be healed with these same things?.

Nutrition Response Testing is a non-invasive system that analyzes the body in order to determine the root causes of ill health.
It uses muscle strength testing to communicate with the body's own innate intelligence to evaluate the body's response to a broad variety of substances that may be affecting health and function.
The procedure itself is simple and direct.
There are two parts to this system.
First, the analysis, or the assessment of your body's current health status.
This is done through the body's nervous system whose job it is to regulate the functions of each and every organ.

The Heart Sound Recorder is a computer-based low risk general wellness monitor which uses the principles of auscultation to observe heart sounds.
The heart's reaction to certain stressors, i.e.
Your nervous system controls the RATE at which your heart beats.
One side of your nervous system (sympathetic) manages your "fight" or "flight" response and can accelerate your heart rate.
The other side (parasympathetic) manages your "rest and digest" response and can slow your heart rate.
You need a healthy balance between the two.
