Acupuncture Cupping
Acupuncture cupping is a form of ancient healing therapy in traditional Chinese medicine. The practitioner creates suction in the cup and places the cup on the skin of the patient's back to draw fresh blood to the area. This therapy can improve blood circulation, open up the chest and lungs, relieve various types of pains, and even benefit menstrual and digestive problems.
