what in English is called acupuncture, most practitioners are also
trained to use a number of adjunctive therapies. These
typically include moxibustion, which is the burning of the herb
Artemisia vulgaris sinensis over the affected area to warm it,
cupping, electronic stimulation, magnetotherapy, and various types
of massage, such as acupressure, Shiatsu, Jin Shin Jyutsu, and/or
Tuina Chinese remedial massage. |
