Tomomi Shibuya. R.Ac, R.TCMp Registered acupuncturist and herbalist, Registered TCM practitioner Tomomi Shibuya graduated from International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Vancouver. Tomomi’s quiet and gentle needling focuses on correcting the whole body imbalance. She often combines acupuncture and Moxa (herbal heat therapy) . Together they work deeply to relax stressed body and mind. Moxa cones are made of the medicinal herb, mugwort. It’s placed on the skin and lit up to give quite pleasant warmth until it’s removed when 80-90% burned, thus leaving no burning sensation. A Japanese study shows Moxa treatment stimulates parasympathetic nerves(relaxing), and improves the movement of white blood cells, improves movement of white blood cells, enhances blood circulation and immunity. For these properties acupuncture and Moxa treatment effectively treats various pains and inflammatory conditions such as allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, digestive complaints, gynaecological problems, anxiety and sleeping disorders and other dis-eases. Tomomi works on Sundays 9:00 - 19:00, and on Tuesdays 9:30 - 15:00.
