Cupping and Moxibustion
Cupping treats a wide variety of conditions such as arthritis, headache, low back pain, painful menstruation, the common cold, and general muscle tension.
Cups are made of glass and come in a variety of sizes to fit specific body surfaces. Heat is added near the opening of the cup; pulling air out creating a vacuum. This pulls the skin and fascia into the glass. A single cup or multiple cups are used on acupuncture points to break up local congestion and relieve pain.
This process is not painful but actually feels great! Cupping can create painless red circles on the surface, which fade in a few days.
