Acupuncture, a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is a holistic healing modality that involves the precise insertion of fine needles into specific meridian points on the body to restore the natural flow of Qi (vital energy) and promote balance between the Yin and Yang forces. Rooted in ancient wisdom, this time-honored therapy stimulates the body’s innate healing response, addressing both the symptoms and underlying causes of disharmony to support physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Fire Cupping, a therapeutic practice in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), involves creating a vacuum inside glass cups using heat, which are then placed on the skin to stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation, release stagnation, and promote the smooth flow of Qi. This ancient technique helps to expel toxins, reduce muscle tension, and restore balance within the body, supporting overall health and vitality by drawing out deep-seated blockages and enhancing the body's natural healing processes.
Moxibustion therapy, a fundamental practice in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), involves the burning of dried mugwort (moxa) near specific acupuncture points to warm the meridians, dispel cold, and invigorate the flow of Qi and blood. This deeply nourishing technique enhances circulation, strengthens the body’s vital energy, and supports overall balance, making it especially beneficial for conditions related to cold, stagnation, and deficiency.
Red Light Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate deep into the skin and tissues, promoting cellular repair, reducing inflammation, and enhancing circulation. When combined with acupuncture, this therapy amplifies healing by accelerating tissue regeneration, relieving pain, and optimizing the body’s natural energy flow, while also offering additional benefits such as improved skin health, reduced muscle fatigue, and enhanced overall vitality.
Gua Sha therapy, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) technique, involves using a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape the skin, stimulating blood and lymphatic circulation, releasing stagnant Qi and blood, and promoting the body’s natural detoxification process. This ancient healing method helps to reduce pain, alleviate tension, and restore balance by dispelling heat, improving immune function, and supporting the free flow of energy throughout the meridians.
At Desert Shen, Dr. Victoria integrates her knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the powerful healing properties of medicinal mushrooms to support patients in treating a variety of conditions, from immune system imbalances to stress and fatigue. As the founder of The House of Mogu (houseofmogu.com), she has curated a comprehensive collection of information and studies on medicinal mushrooms, crafting a line of supplements that blend ancient TCM wisdom with modern mycology, which she actively incorporates into her clinical practice to enhance healing and overall well-being.
Nutritional & Supplemental Counseling, viewed through the combined lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and modern biology, provides tailored recommendations to nourish the body, support vital energy (Qi), and correct imbalances that may be impacting health. By integrating the wisdom of TCM’s food energetics, herbal therapy, and meridian theory with evidence-based nutritional science, this approach helps patients select the right foods and supplements to enhance digestion, boost immunity, reduce inflammation, and promote overall wellness.
