Acupressure Massage is a Traditional Chinese Medicine way  of pressing on special ‘Acupoints’ on the body to restore health and balance to the body's channels of energy and to regulate opposing forces of yin (negative energy) and yang (positive energy).  Before applying the acupressure massage, a moxibustion treament is recommend to warm and restore the Meridian Sytem (Acupressure channels).

Moxibustion (Chinese: 灸; pinyin: jiǔ) is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy using moxa made from dried mugwort. It is not uncommon for patients receiving moxibustion to report a sudden flooding of warmth that quickly radiates along a specific pathway (usually corresponding with the meridian channel that is being treated) away from the site of application. This is a good result, as it indicates the arrival of the Qi and signals that the flow of Qi and Blood has been freed in the channel.

Traditionally the skin is scraped until red patches appeared to reveal the “problem” but now the scraping board plus guasa oil is used and so this will further lessen the discomfort and redness.
