Cupping & Herbal Medicine for Immune & Respiratory Support

Supporting your defences

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wei Qi, or protective Qi, is the energy that guards the body against wind, cold and seasonal illness. When you are run down, stressed or short on sleep, it can feel like you catch every bug going around. Our care focuses on two things: helping you stay well through the busy seasons, and supporting your recovery once the worst of a cold has passed.

People come to us for

• Catching colds often, or feeling run down every season
• Lingering chest tightness, congestion or a cough after a cold
• Slow recovery and low energy after being sick
• Seasonal immune support through fall and winter

How we can help

Fire cupping

Cupping on the upper back and shoulders is a traditional Chinese Medicine approach for chest tightness and congestion, and for helping the body recover after a cold. At The Qi Station, cupping is offered with acupuncture by Trace-Ace. About fire cupping

Please stay home while you are contagious

If you have a fever, a new cough, a sore throat or other cold or flu symptoms, please reschedule your appointment. We would love to see you once you are on the mend, and it helps keep our clients and practitioners well.

These are complementary therapies. They work alongside, not instead of, care from your doctor. Please tell your practitioner about any diagnoses, medications or supplements, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
