I just had my first cupping therapy session coupled with my second acupuncture session. I've been going to chiropractors and massage therapists for most of my life. This treatment generated more relaxation that both aforementioned treatments combined!
I now have big, round hickies down my back. Not sure how I'm going to explain that to the hubby. However, my doctor says it's a great treatment for lower back pain. I am told that prior to going to your chiropractic appointment, it's good to get acupuncture done to relax the muscles so the adjustment takes better.
Since my experience was a pleasurable one, I'd like to share more information with you about both cupping and acupuncture.
Fire Cupping
Cupping Therapy is an ancient medical treatment that relies upon creating a local suction to mobilize blood flow in order to promote healing. The use of Cupping Therapy has been a part of most cultures of the world.
- Causes blood to form in the area to promote healing
- Triggers the lymphatic system
- Clears blood vessels
- Promotes energy flow through the five meridians in your back
- Releases toxins in your body through suction penetrating the skin
- Stretches and activates the skin
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an alternative medicine that treats patients by insertion and manipulation of needles in the body. Its proponents variously claim that it relieves pain, treats infertility, treats disease, prevents disease, and promotes general health.
