- Gift certificate for a 30 Minute Tuina + Cupping Treatment 

- Gift certificate for 1 Infrared Sauna Session 

MN Integrative Health Studio is located in Minneapolis, MN.

Fire cupping and Tuina appointments are scheduled for 30 minutes, where fire cupping is combined with tuina (Chinese medical massage). Tuina is a specific form of massage based on Chinese medical principles. It involves deep tissue manipulation often along acupuncture points and meridians, stretching, and manipulation of the muscles, joints, and tendons. This treatment is good for patients looking to relax, relieve stress and muscle tension, and reduce pain.

Fire cupping is a therapy in which a glass jar is attached to the skin surface using negative pressure created by introducing a flame into the cup, and superficial skin and muscle layers are pulled into the cup. Cups are either left stationary for several minutes, or moved around utilizing many different techniques such as sliding or flash cupping. Cupping is a form of body work that can be described as a "reverse massage," pulling up on the body's tissues versus pressing down. Cupping can help to relieve sore muscles and other aches and pains, but is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for many other conditions, including but not limited to: arthritis, sprains, indigestion, stomach pain, headache, back pain, etc. 

Infrared saunas differ from more traditional saunas- they use infrared light to heat the body directly instead of heating the air. Therefore, infrared saunas operate at lower temperatures (110-140 degrees Fahrenheit) than traditional saunas (150-190 degrees Fahrenheit) while still providing the same benefits.

There is research on infrared saunas suggesting possible benefits such as:
- Improved heart health and reduced blood pressure 

- Speed up recovery of sore muscles after exercise 

- Pain relief 

- Relaxation 

- Improved sleep 

You will have access to a private room with a sauna that can fit up to 4 people. Each additional person is an added fee of $10. Sauna sessions last 30-40 minutes, you can take breaks from the heat if needed. Saunas can be customized with light therapy and can connect via auxiliary cable to your own device so you can listen to audio of your choice.
