CUPPING TREATMENT
Cupping treatment increases blood flow to both muscles and organs, stimulates the nerves and remove toxins that may have settled in specific areas. The muscles of the back have a tendency toward storing toxins which has a direct connection to spinal nerves that can weaken the organs. Cups are usually left on the skin for 10-15 minutes. After initial five minutes the body becomes accustomed to them and any suction discomfort lessons. Dr. Xiao normally uses 4-8 glass cups.
Dark circles typically left on the skin surface are areas of stagnant congestions that have been pulled to the surface from deep in the muscles and organs. The body is then able to efficiently eliminate the congestion, allowing healing of fresh blood and Qi to enter.
How Does Cupping Work?
HEAT THERAPY
Dampness is very destructive within the body and once it has taken root it is hard to displace. Dampness causes stiff joints and pain. With this year's wet weather conditions, internal dampness is common.
Heat therapy is very effective for sending warmth deeply into a problem area and relieving pain caused by dampness to finally facilitate correct healing.
