Fengyang Tui Na
Feng Yang TCM Tui Na is a specialized form of acupressure massage that address specific health concerns and restore balance within the body. It focuses on acupuncture points and meridians to alleviate pain, improve circulation, and enhance overall body function, offers relief from musculoskeletal issues, reduction of stress and tension, and support for the body’s natural healing processes.
Tui na is a form of Chinese manipulative therapy. Tui na is a hands-on body treatment that uses Chinese Taoist principles in an effort to bring the eight principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) into balance. The practitioner may brush, knead, roll, press, and rub the areas between each of the joints, known as the eight gates, to attempt to open the body's defensive chi (Wei Qi) and get the energy moving in the meridians and the muscles. Techniques may be gentle or quite firm. The name comes from two of the actions: tui means "to push" and na means "to lift and squeeze." Other strokes include shaking and tapotement.[The practitioner can then use range of motion, traction, with the stimulation of acupressure points. These techniques are claimed to aid in the treatment of both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, as well as many non-musculoskeletal conditions. -Wikipedia
Cupping Therapy & Gua Sha
Heated cups are suctioned onto the skin to help improve circulation, relieve muscle tension. Often used to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and enhance relaxation.
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage. -- Web MD, learn more.
Gua Sha is a practice where the practitioner scrapes the skin with a smooth-edged tool to stimulate circulation, alleviates muscle tension, and enhances lymphatic drainage, leading to improved skin health and overall vitality.

Moxibustion Services
Mostly offered in Maynard, MA, though very small moxa will sometimes be used as well in West Hartford, CT. This is a treatment used on a need-be basis, meaning we only use it if we believe the patient requires it. Meaning its price is calculated together with other treatments at no additional cost.
Recently, many moxibustion friends have developed blisters during moxibustion, and fear and worry follow. Chinese medicine experts point out that blisters on the skin during moxibustion are not burns, but moxibustion flowers. Blisters during moxibustion indicate that there is a lot of moisture in your body.
Today, let's talk about the dialectics and treatment of blisters after moxibustion:
1. The blisters are moxibustion flowers, so what are moxibustion flowers?
''Moxibustion flower'' is also called moxibustion sore, which is the local skin blister caused by moxibustion. In ancient times, the ancients paid special attention to whether moxibustion sore occurred or not. For example, ''Easy Learning of Acupuncture and Moxibustion'' (Qing Dynasty) said: ''Moxibustion sore will definitely occur, and indicates the location of disease." Therefore, in ancient times, various methods were used to promote the occurrence of moxibustion sore, which can cure serious diseases and chronic illnesses. Modern purulent moxibustion is mostly used to treat tumor diseases.
2. Why do moxibustion flowers appear?
Moxibustion flowers usually appear as small local blisters, or a small amount of pus in the blisters. Don't panic if this happens, as moxibustion flowers are different from burns.
Moxibustion flowers are large or small blisters caused by heavy moisture and coldness in the body and blocked meridians. The blockage within needs a channel to be discharged from the body, and moxibustion flowers are this channel. When using the same firepower for moxibustion, the place with the lesion will be more sensitive than other places, and will feel hotter, more painful, and more irritating. For example, when moxibustion is performed on the back, if you have stomach problems, then the location of the stomach acupoints will be more painful than other places, and it is easier to have moxibustion flowers, which is a reminder that there is a disease in this place or this meridian. In some cases, moxibustion flowers are a standard for judging whether the disease is cured. Some people even have to moxibustion until pus and sores appear before they think that the disease can be eliminated and the blockage can be alleviated.
3. Why do moxibustion flowers appear in different shapes?
When the body is cold, damp, or has blocked meridians, the color of the moxibustion flowers will be different. The more blocked the meridians are and the more damp the person is, the larger the blisters will be. People who are doing moxibustion for the first time will have more and tend to blister easier. People who do moxibustion frequently will have stronger tolerance and the blisters will be relatively smaller and with less blisters. The longer the moxibustion time, the larger the blisters will last.
Conversely, they will be smaller for healthier individuals. Small moxibustion flowers indicate that this part can have moxibustion performed again sooner next time. If the moxibustion flowers are too large, they are often not having moxibustion again until the local area has healed (with exceptions for severe illness which may require extreme blistering for the body to properly heal, but don’t worry, this is a rare occurrence).
4. Different colors of moxibustion flower blisters represent different conditions!
If the blisters are transparent and colorless, it means that there is too much cold and dampness in the body. If the blisters are yellow and have a certain odor, it means that there is severe heat in the body. If the blisters are bloody, it means that there is severe dampness and inflammation in the body. If the moxibustion area is itchy, it means that the wind-cold in this area is serious. (some sample pictures included)
Cupping Blisters:
Cupping blisters are the same as moxibustion flowers, as they are used as an indication for local disease.
The most common cupping blister is one which occurs for back pain when the weather becomes cold and damp and the blisters aid in the healing process. When the blisters occur the body heals faster and tension and pain which occurs on the back is relieved.
Patients who have
- Toxins in the body
- Liver issues
- overuse of prescriptions
- Edema
- used addictive substances
will tend to have cupping blisters, while normal healthy individual will have spherical cupping marks with a slight color change or darker colored localized bruising, normal patients tend not to have any blisters occur.

This is the small moxa being used, as can be seen it is quite small and has a layer in between the fire and the skin.
Moxa Flower (when patient has Cold Dampness)
If the blisters are transparent and colorless, it means that there is too much cold and dampness in the body.
Moxa Flower (When patient has Heat Dampness)
If the blisters are yellow and have a certain odor, it means that there is severe heat in the body
Cupping Blisters (releasing toxins from the body)
Disclaimer: Moxa Flower (also known as Moxa Sore) is a blistering of the local area which is part of the body’s natural healing process, it is not an accidental injury from the practitioner.
This is also true for cupping blisters which may occur from cupping, though an average person with no major pain or illnesses will often have no blisters occur, instead with just a colored bruise which lightens over time and will heal on its own.
This disclaimer is also mentioned in both the “New Patient Intake Form” to be filled out and signed online & the “Fee & Disclaimer” form signed during first consultation. We will always explain the form to the patient as best we can, and we advice all patients to thoroughly read any form they may sign.

Testimonial
“I was new to acupuncture, and on my first visit I was struck by the warm and comforting space Michelle immediately created during the intake interview. I had been struggling emotionally, and I felt comfortable opening up to her in an authentic way. At that time and every subsequent visit, she met me with warmth, compassion, empathy, and hope. Additionally, she was mindful and attentive about my comfort during each procedure, and she explained what I should expect. Her diagnosis was spot on for me, as I started experiencing profound improvement in my symptoms after several treatments. She is an excellent acupuncturist with a warm soul, and I highly recommend her to anyone new or experienced to receiving treatments.”

This therapy involves using natural hand movements to pat specific areas or the entire body, generating impact forces that gradually increase from light to heavy.

Zen Patting Therapy emphasizes enhancing internal circulation and boosting self-healing to maintain health and prevent disease.

Fengyang Tai Chi
Fengyang Tai Chi is developed by Dr. Ming Wu, based on his 40 years of experience practicing Tai Chi, under the guidance of his mentor, a fifth generation Yang style Tai Chi master Gin Soon Chu. It is an easy-to-learn exercise method and practice routine that is more suitable for the purpose of improving one’s health and wellness, and spiritual alignment of the body and mind.
Fengyang Tai Chi combines the essence of traditional Yang style Tai Chi and Fengyang Internal Practice (内功). It integrates the insight meditation (内观) and the soft wrapping practice (缠丝软势拳) of the Fengyang Internal Practice, with the Yang style Tai Chi. Based on the principle of the body and mind unity, Fengyang Tai Chi incorporates conditioning the heart, the breathing, and the body into Tai Chi practice. Guided by the Taoist philosophy of the interdependence of yin and yang, it emphasizes on the internal practice of Dan Tian breathing. Through the practice of the Fengyang twenty-four style Tai Chi, one can gain the superior internal power of the body, mind and spirit unification.
Fengyang Tai Chi aims to improve the heart and mind through practice of the routine movements. Guided by the principles of "focusing on insight meditation, and also including physical improvement" and “reaching stillness through movement, and combining movement and stillness together”, Fengyang Tai Chi avoids the issues of some Tai Chi practices that Tai Chi becomes merely an exercise form or empty theories. Fengyang Tai Chi is more suitable for spiritual seekers and Zen practitioners. It can help one realize the truth of “who am I”. It can also help cancer patients and patients with difficult-to-cure diseases or chronic diseases to stimulate the body's self-healing potential, thus regaining physical health. It helps practitioners reach the goal of strong body, longevity, Wu Wei, living in the present, and wishes coming true!
View our in-person class schedule, here.
For those who can not come to our classes, we offer teaching videos of Fengyang Tai Chi — Dr. Wu will guide you through all the individual Tai Chi movements and forms through high quality and detailed instructional videos. You will cultivate inner peace and calm through the slow movements of Tai Chi.
