Heat, traditonally heat is applied to the body during acupuncture by using moxa, a herb burned on the skin, near the skin or on a needle. This can cause a lot of smoke and a strong smell not unlike cannabis. We still use this technique occasionally but most of the time we apply heat using a heatlamp.

Pulsetaking is an important diagnostic tool for acupuncture and a way to monitor the progress of treatment. We are not only feeling for the rate of the pulse but also for its quality. There are many pulse positions and depths relating to different organs and systems in the body.

Massage goes very well with acupuncture and we quite often add a short massage into treatment. This is especially useful for pain conditions such as shoulder pain, backpain etc.
