Healing Benefits of Acupressure and Energetic Needling at Healing Thyme

What is Acupressure?

Acupressure is an ancient healing practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves applying gentle pressure to specific points on the body. These points correspond to energy pathways, or meridians, that help balance the flow of Qi (life force energy) throughout the body. By stimulating these points, acupressure can relieve pain, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being.

What is Energetic Needling?

Energetic Needling is a unique, non-invasive approach that mimics the benefits of traditional acupuncture without the use of actual needles. This method uses focused intention and energy work to stimulate acupuncture points and meridians, encouraging the body’s natural healing processes. It is ideal for those who are uncomfortable with needles or seeking a gentle yet effective alternative.

Why We Don’t Offer Traditional Needling

Compliance with Utah’s Surgical Laws

In Utah, the practice of acupuncture with needles is regulated under the state's surgical laws, requiring specific medical licenses that fall outside the scope of our holistic healing practice. At Healing Thyme, we are committed to adhering to these regulations while still providing effective and transformative healing options. Therefore, we offer acupressure and energetic needling as safe and accessible alternatives.
