Cupping 拔罐
Like Tui Na massage, Cupping is used to generally relieve muscular knots, aches and pains by stimulating the Qi and Blood to the area. It can also be used for internal issues when combined with acupuncture. The cups are made of glass in different sizes.
A vacuum condition is created by lighting a fire inside the cup before putting it on certain areas of the body. Shoulders and back are the most common areas to receive cupping treatments. Marks may appear after cupping treatment. The colour may range from mild red to red or purple. They are indicators of how well the Blood and Qi are circulating in the area. The marks should disappear within 1 to 2 weeks depending on the colour.
