The Healing Power of Cupping: Traditional Chinese Medicine Making a Comeback

Cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that has been practiced for thousands of years. It involves creating a vacuum in glass cups placed on the skin, drawing blood to the surface to promote healing and energy flow. Cupping is used for various ailments, including asthma and gastrointestinal disorders. Eastern medicine integrates it with the Meridian system, while Western medicine focuses on lymphatic drainage and detoxification. The process is painless but may cause light bruising.
