From the reviews
Amazing! Wonderful!! Superb!!! This is how I feel about finding Dr. Riz. I’ve had severe migraines for 35 years. I was loosing faith in my ability to mask them at work and social obligations. I was deeply disappointed in my Drs and insurance company. It was getting harder to get the help I needed.
Today was my fourth biweekly visit, and I can honestly say that working with Dr. Ritz Virata has been the best experience I’ve had in over 20 years of seeing different Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners. Dr.
From my very first visit, I felt completely at ease and confident in her approach. Dr. Virata takes the time to understand your unique health needs, and her holistic care has led to significant improvements in my health.
I have been seeing Riz for about two years and want to say if you are looking for a knowledgeable Acupuncturist/Herbalist Riz is the one. She is knowledgeable and explains the process and your goals in detail. She has helped me with more than a few issues.
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
