Cupping

Cupping

First recorded by the famous Taoist alcmeist and healer Ge Hong (281-341 A.D.) cupping is an ancient practice where a glass or bamboo cup is applied to the skin and the pressure in the cup is reduced (by using change in heat or by suctioning out air), so that the skin and superficial muscle layer is drawn into and held in the cup.

This draws out toxins or congestion to the superficial area where they can be dealt with more efficiently, whilst drawing fresh blood and Qi into the area to improve circulation. Frequently used alongside acupuncture, cupping is recommended in cases of pain and lung conditions (especially acute or chronic cough or asthma), digestive and gynaecological issues.

Infants and Children

Chinese medicine has specialised in treating children dating back to the Song Dynasty (960-1279)

The key to facilitating healthy growth and development is to prevent or resolve acute conditions and address underlying weakness by strengthening the child in the early stages, ultimately decreasing the likelihood of chronic illness later in life.
