The Buzz on Cupping and Acupuncture

 Cupping, a form of TCM, is a technique in which some acupuncturists are licensed. This treatment is considered to be highly effective for those who are suffering from a number of different ailments particularly those related to the respiratory system.



The round cup that is used for the treatment is what gives the technique it's name. Heated on the inside, a smoothed edge cup is and placed on the body of the patient. A vacuum forms against the skin when the air inside the cup cools. The pores dilate, and blockages that are underneath the skin are broken up, as increased blood flow improves the Qi. This can also allow toxins to be drawn out of the body.
