Alchemical Acupuncture

Birds Nest Acupuncture is a wellness clinic in Austin, Texas that specializes in alchemical acupuncture to address comprehensive wellness needs.  Acupuncture treatments include a thorough physical and emotional health history intake in order to treat root issues. Each acupuncture sessions offers highly personalized care, and we take the time necessary to understand and treat your unique issues.  We also strive to come up with a wellness plan that offers you the best possible chance of healing which can include other modalities such as cupping, moxa, essential oils, tuning forks, hands on healing, dream journaling, flower essence remedies, and herb and supplement remedies.

What is Alchemical Acupuncture?

Alchemical acupuncture differs from traditional acupuncture in the sense that it seeks to treat not only the physical symptoms, but also emotional, psychological and psychosomatic as well.  One of the ways we tend to the emotional needs of our clients is by making space for them to talk about where they are and express their emotions in each session.

We believe that most healing Journeys are multidimensional and this modality allows us to work with our clients on body, mind AND spirit knowing that each part of ourselves is interdependent on one another.

Cupping

Cupping is the use of cup-shaped objects placed on the body to relieve pain, fight common colds, improve circulation, and relieve stress. The cups are placed on the skin and held in place by suction. The suction feels similar to a deep tissue massage. When the cups are released, it may leave some marks or bruising. This is completely normal and part of the therapeutic effect.  Many of our clients love cupping and request it during their treatments. Cupping releases and stretches muscles, bringing oxygen-rich blood to their tissue that reduces pain.

Conditions Treated:

  • Chronic Pain
  • Acute Pain
  • Injury Recovery
  • Stress Related Muscle Pain

Treatment Options:

Cupping may accompany your acupuncture session when deemed necessary, but it can also be a stand alone treatment lasting 30 minutes.
