Most of us are more familiar with acupuncture, massage therapy and herbal m

edicine. Yet as a lesser-known modality of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM),

cupping therapy is also highly effective in dealing with many health conditions.



By applying a partial vacuum which is generated by heat or suction from a cu

p or cups, cupping therapy can relieve the local congestion. Those cups and s

mall jars are applied to the skin and suck it away from our body. It was mainly

used for fever, vertigo, menstrual imbalance, poor appetite, pain relief and oth

er conditions back in ancient times.



But how does this therapy really work? First, the operator will need to apply

rubbing alcohol to the bottom of the cups and the light them on fire, later the

flame is put out and the inside heat will cool down, which will bring a natural

suction to the skin. When this suction lift the skin away from our body,

negative pressure is created. As opposed to the positive pressure created by

the massage, this negative pressure helps to promote healthy blood flow,

loosen muscle tissues and calm our nervous system.



More often, cupping therapy is performed together with acupuncture, one o

f the reasons why they are used in combination is that both of them follow t

he natural meridian lines of our body. Those meridian lines are believed to

be the pathways through which our body's life energy or Qi flows. As it is tr

aditionally used on the back, cupping therapy follows the five meridian line

s on the back, with the purpose of aligning and relaxing the Qi and opening

up all the channels through which energy flows.



As one of the most effective deep-tissue therapies, cupping is thought to

affect tissues which are up to four inches deep from the external skin. During

the process, we can eliminate the toxins, clear the blockages and refresh the

veins and arteries within these four inches of the affected tissues. We can

even perform the cupping therapy upon our hands, wrists, and ankles, so the

specific organs that are related to these points can also receive the healing

treatment.



Thank you!
