Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Cupping is an ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practice that involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. This technique:
The cups used in cupping therapy can be applied in several ways. The most common method involves heating the cup to create a vacuum and then placing it on the skin. As the air inside the cup cools, it creates a suction effect, pulling the skin and underlying tissue upwards. This suction is thought to stimulate blood flow, release toxins, and alleviate muscle tension.
Pain Management: Relieves chronic pain conditions (back pain, neck pain, arthritis)
Women’s Health: Alleviates menstrual cramps and other gynecological issues
Stress Management: Enhances relaxation and stress relief
Weight Management: Aids in reducing obesity and improving metabolism
Generally it helps on reduce inflammation, improves circulation, and promotes lymphatic drainage.
At Royal Chinese Medicine 盛安中医, we offer various cupping methods tailored to your specific needs:
Wet Cupping: Combines cupping with controlled medicinal bleeding for enhanced detoxification (which involves a controlled, minor skin puncture to release blood)
Moving Cupping: Cups are moved along lubricated skin for broader muscle relief (where the cups are glided over the skin)
Flash Cupping: Quick application and removal for sensitive areas (where cups are left in place for a period)
Our experienced TCM practitioners will assess your condition and determine the most suitable cupping technique. The treatment is generally painless, though you may experience a tight sensation where the cups are placed. After treatment, circular marks may appear on your skin, which typically fade within a few days.
For optimal results, we often combine cupping with other TCM pain management techniques such as acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal medicine. This holistic approach ensures comprehensive care for your pain and overall health.
