Cupping is an anti-inflammatory therapy that leaves signs of a slight burn that goes away after a few days. It delivers significant health benefits.
Over the 17 years I've been in China, I've done hundreds of cupping sessions. Most of them are in the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The effect is felt almost instantaneously.
My experience and views concerning Cupping Therapy.
I had cupping therapy over two hundred times. Usually after scraping therapy. (Routine treatments in traditional Chinese) hospitals)
- The suction creates light burns on the skin that have a circular form.
- It does not have as strong an effect as acupuncture, but I think it may relieve some symptoms, like flu.
- The spots (light burns) on the body are not equal. Some are red-purple. Others show almost nothing. It is not random and is not explained by the technique.)
- I believe Cupping Therapy diverts inflammation from other body parts to the skin. (The burns "suck out inflammation.")
- The main side-effect is sometimes an inflammation of the burned area.
Alixin, my (Chinese) wife, cups me when I feel unwell. The relief is noticeable.
