This client works in a salon creating amazing hair-dos and is an artist and finds they tend to look down a lot. They are dealing with tight, sore and burning muscle pain in and around the neck and shoulders. I used cups to loosen up the muscles and fascia in the area while bringing fresh blood in to heal. Then finished off with acupuncture and massage = โฃ

Cupping is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapy where inverted glass, plastic, or bamboo cups are applied to the body.โฃ

This technique has been used for thousands of years, and one of the earliest documentations of cupping can be found in work titled A Handbook of Prescriptions for Emergencies, which was written by a Taoist herbalist Ge Hong all the way back in 300 AD.โฃ

The red marks result from the blood being pulled into that area. The darker the mark, the more stagnant fluids (toxins, blood and lymph) were dredged up during treatment. The marks last anywhere from a few hours to several days. โฃ

Most of the time, TCM practitioners wouldnโt use cupping on someone who is already deficient and pale as they already lack Qi and Blood to nourish the body. Cupping would further tax the body making the people tired. ๐๐ตโ๐ด ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ข๐ญ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ข๐ญ๐ช๐ง๐ช๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐บ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ฐ๐ฏ. โฃ
