Target Tension with Acupuncture or Cupping at Carob Beauty & Therapy

Acupuncture Sessions:-

- A consultation asking questions about your current symptoms and your medical history, as well as such things as your sleeping pattern, your appetite and digestion, and your emotional well being. Women are also asked about their menstrual cycle and any past pregnancies and childbirth. This is to know which points to target.

- Each point is then cleaned with an alcohol swab and the fine sterile disposable acupuncture needle is inserted. Acupuncture needles commonly remain in place for fifteen to forty minutes depending on the acupuncture treatment. Care is taken to ensure that the client is neither too hot nor too cold while resting. Clients are always attended to during through the acupuncture treatment to make sure they are comfortable. Acupuncture treatments tend to be very relaxing and many people fall asleep during treatments.

- At the end of the treatment, the needles are removed and disposed of.

- Acupuncture needles are extremely fine, and for this reason needle insertion is practically painless. Most probably you won’t feel a thing.

Cupping is used to relieve back and neck pains, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, rheumatism
