During her time at InterContinental Maldives she will be offering the following treatments

Acupuncture Fine, sterile and once-use needles are inserted into acupoints to augment Qi/Blood flow to meridians/local areas, achieve energy balance, remove blockage, and to stimulate/target specific organs to help improve their function.

Tuina Manual therapy that works on muscles, ligaments/tendons and soft tissue; as well as targeting acupoints for stimulation (can be an alternative to acupuncture in cases of needle-phobia) and smoothing Qi/Blood flow in meridians. Facial Tuina performed with beneficial facial oil is a gentle and calming therapy that can stimulate microcirculation and improve collagen production to brighten complexion and smooth fine lines.

Cupping Safe fire cupping with special glass cups to improve Qi/Blood flow in targeted areas. A good auxiliary technique to help improve acupuncture/Tuina treatments. Sliding cupping can reduce muscle tension and cold/flu symptoms.

Guasha Use of a jade scraping tool with body oil/medical liniments to improve Qi/Blood flow in targeted areas/meridians; can be used facially to boost microcirculation, lymphatic draining and collagen production, or used over the neck, shoulders and back to reduce excess conditions (e.g. muscle strain/injury, cold/flu).
