Our Specialties

Pain Management
Acupuncture and fire cupping offers a grounded, time‑tested pathway out of pain. By improving circulation, easing inflammation, and restoring the body’s natural balance, treatment supports relief from chronic pain, acute injuries, migraines, back pain, and joint discomfort. Each session guides the body back toward harmony—helping you move with greater ease, strength, and vitality.

Mental Health
Acupuncture and Chinese herbs calm the nervous system and nourishes the spirit, offering gentle support for anxiety, stress, insomnia, and emotional imbalance. Through harmonizing the Heart, Liver, and Kidneys—the organs most affected by modern life—treatment creates spaciousness within the mind and steadiness within the body, allowing clarity and resilience to return.

Fertility & Women's Health
Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and supported by modern research, acupuncture, Chinese herbs and moxibustion nurtures reproductive health by regulating cycles, supporting hormone balance, and enhancing fertility for individuals and couples. Whether preparing the womb, supporting IVF/IUI, or easing PMS and perimenopause symptoms, treatment brings the body back into a state where life can grow.

Facial Rejuvenation
Cosmetic acupuncture invites radiance from the inside out. By increasing circulation, stimulating collagen, and balancing internal systems, it softens fine lines, lifts the skin naturally, and restores a healthy glow. This holistic approach enhances facial vitality while supporting overall wellness, letting your outer appearance reflect your inner harmony.

Gua sha and moxibustion are time-honored therapies used to move stagnation, warm the body, and encourage the smooth flow of Qi. At Three Essentials, these modalities are typically incorporated into acupuncture sessions to ease muscle tension, improve circulation, support digestion and menstrual health, and calm stress-related tightness. Whether through the gentle scraping of gua sha or the soothing warmth of moxa, these therapies help restore balance, relieve pain, and support whole-body vitality.
