Cupping

We use cupping to stimulate blood and qi flow in acupuncture points along the five meridian pathways of the back. Cups are placed at various points on the back and suction is applied, which raises the skin into the surrounding cup. Cupping is used to treat respiratory, digestive and gynecological disorders, headaches and dizziness, lymphatic blockages, as well as common colds and insomnia. Although it can cause circular bruise marks, these typically heal within several days.
