Liang Yi TCM – Breast Wellness In Singapore

What is a Breast Wellness?

According to TCM, blood and Qi balance throughout the body are closely related to breast health. Breast Wellness Therapy aims to balance these energies in order to treat stagnation and encourage optimal function. The therapy involves:

  • Gentle Manual Techniques are used in the therapy: Ru Gen (乳湔) and Dan Zhong (膻中穴), two important acupoints surrounding the chest, can be gently pressed and moved rhythmically to promote circulation and relieve congestion.
  • Lymphatic Drainage: By using methods to promote lymphatic flow, lymphatic drainage helps eliminate toxins and minimize swelling.
  • Soft Tissue Manipulation: Targeted massage is used to relieve breast tissue tension and pain.
  • Integration of TCM Modalities: Using techniques like guasha or herbal compresses to decrease stagnation and improve detoxification.
