- Cupping: It is a therapy in which glass cups or plastic cups are applied to the skin along the meridians of the body, creating suction as a way of stimulating the flow of energy. These are pliable enough to be moved from place to place on the skin and produce a massage-like effect. Cupping can reduce pain and inflammation throughout the body It could be used for sore muscles, tension, neck pain, and common cold.

- Moxibustion: Moxibustion is a technique that involves the burning of mugwort, a small, spongy herb, to facilitate healing. While applying moxibustion, the patient will experience a pleasant heating sensation that penetrates deep into the skin. The burning of Moxa is believed to expel cold and warm the meridians which leads to smoother flow of Blood and Qi.

- Gua-sha: Scraping (Greston Technique): Gua-Sha, a.k.a. scraping, greston technique, involves a special tool that gently scrapes or rubs the skin over problem areas to facilitate Qi and Blood circulation, and to soften and revitalize the skin and tissue. It is commonly used to release muscle tension, tightness, and constriction.
