Begin your journey with a warm, custom-brewed cup of herbal tea. Learn about the philosophy of “preventative care” and how this specific tea is chosen to harmonize with Beijing's climate and your general well-being.
Next, become the focus as your practitioner demonstrates the art of “pulse reading” and “tongue diagnosis” on a volunteer. Learn what your pulse strength and tongue coating can reveal about your body's balance according to TCM theory.
Then, practice simple yet effective Tuina massage techniques under expert guidance. Discover key acupoints on the head, neck, and shoulders that help relieve stress, headache, and travel fatigue. Practice on yourself and a friend—a perfect skill to take home for lifelong benefit.
Witness the precision of acupuncture as your practitioner performs a demonstration on common, safe acupoints (e.g., on the hand or leg), using ultra-fine, disposable needles. Feel the gentle “De Qi” sensation (a dull ache or tingling) that signifies the arrival of energy. Then, experience the suction of vacuum cupping on your back or arm, a fantastic way to relieve muscle tension and promote blood flow.
Finally, ask all your burning questions about TCM, your personal habits, or anything you've experienced. Receive personalized lifestyle and wellness advice based on TCM principles to enhance your travels and life back home.
