Acupuncture is an element of Traditional Chinese medicine. Your Foxglove Wellness practitioner will take time to review your health history and goals. Based on your Chinese medical diagnosis, our team of acupuncturists will curate a plan to get you on the path towards your best health.

Acupuncture needling helps to stimulate blood flow in the local area/site of injury to encourage healing. It helps to loosen muscle tension, promotes relaxation, releases endorphins, and reduces stress. Acupuncture is also extremely effective in balancing hormones for regulating menstrual cycles, promoting fertility health (in both men and women), as well as supporting the transition into menopause.

As part of your acupuncture treatment, our practitioners will use all their tools and skills to help add to the efficacy of your treatment. You will likely be sent home with some herbs to support your results between treatments.

Cosmetic acupuncture works to promote blood flow to the skin to create a perfect glow, reduces puffiness by encouraging proper blood and lymph drainage, increases collagen production minimizing fine lines and wrinkles, and helps to tighten facial muscles to prevent your face/chin/neck from falling, which happens naturally as we age. 

Additionally, our practitioners use special facial gua sha jade tools and facial cups. The gua sha tools that have an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin (similar to jade rollers). Facial gua sha helps to gently relax tight face/scalp muscles, cool the skin, gently break apart the walls of stubborn wrinkles, and flush the skin of impurites. Facial gua sha does not bruise or mark the skin on the face and feels very relaxing, the perfect way to end your cosmetic acupuncture treatment.

Facial cups use a gentle suction and are moved over the face with our “Communion Botanicals” facial oil to gently bring blood to the surface of the skin creating a glow, reduce puffiness by improving lymph drainage and pull impurities out of the skin. After facial cupping, your skin will feel tighter and more moisturized.
