Here at Modern Roots Acupuncture, we also offer a few select products. Unlike a lot of places, we only stock items that we personally use. This shows our faith in the effectiveness of each item. We also make sure to keep the pricing as low or lower than anywhere else. This is a thank you to our patients and it allows us to only offer the highest quality available (which can often be too expensive otherwise). Through this blog post and subsequent blog posts, we will discuss the uses of each of the items.
Each of our 15 items are divided onto five different tiles with different themes. The first theme is pain management. While acupuncture is very effective at treating pain, sometimes supplemental care is also needed.
Battle Balm is an herbal medicated balm used topically for pain relief. Our patients will recognize it because we use it after all orthopedic acupuncture sessions as well as during cupping. It smells like Tiger Balm but, in our opinion, it is much more effective. It uses organic ingredients and cell nourishing vitamins to create a deep penetrating formula for pain fighting. For herbal nerds, the ingredients are beeswax, jojoba oil, menthol, camphor, cajeput, wintergreen, arnica, calendula, safflower, field mint, notoginseng, sappan, corydalis, lavender, tea tree, angelica, myrrh, quince, frankincense, and burr.

Moxa Rolls are an at home version of moxibustion or moxabustion. It is used by burning fermented mugwort, known as Ai Ye, above the body at specific acupuncture points. It is a warming treatment used for thousands of years to bring Yang Qi into the body, expel cold, increase circulation, for detoxification, and to treat pain. Some of the most common pains treated using moxibustion are female health related. Known primarily for helping with menstrual cramps, PCOS, and even fertility.

CBD Gummies are a flavorful way to utilize CBD. We’re sure everyone has heard about CBD for a while and know that you can buy it just about anywhere. We make sure to stock an organic high quality reliable brand. Widely used for pain management, we also use CBD as a natural treatment for stress and anxiety management. We especially utilize it at nighttime to help with sleep. Some notes about this particular CBD is that it does not contain THC (so it will not get you high), it is dosed at a medium level of 30mg (a safe dosage for almost everyone), and it is tasty!
