Cupping and Gua-sha

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a holistic approach to health and wellness, incorporating techniques like cupping therapy, Gua Sha, and acupuncture to promote healing and balance in the body. 

TCM Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is an ancient practice that uses suction cups to stimulate circulation, relieve muscle tension, and detoxify the body.

Benefits of Cupping Therapy
✔ Relieves muscle pain and stiffness
✔ Improves blood flow and oxygenation
✔ Reduces inflammation and toxins
✔ Enhances relaxation and stress relief
✔ Supports immune function and detoxification

How Cupping Works
Glass or silicone cups are placed on the skin to create suction, pulling stagnant blood and toxins to the surface, promoting deep tissue healing. Cupping is commonly used for back pain, tension headaches, and athletic recovery.

 

Gua Sha Therapy
Gua Sha is a TCM technique that involves gently scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to improve circulation, relieve pain, and reduce inflammation.

Benefits of Gua Sha
✔ Breaks down muscle tension and knots
✔ Stimulates the lymphatic system for detoxification
✔ Reduces inflammation and chronic pain
✔ Enhances skin health and reduces puffiness
✔ Supports immune system function

How Gua Sha Works
A specialized tool (often jade or rose quartz) is used to scrape the skin in long strokes, promoting blood circulation and healing. Gua Sha is often applied to the neck, shoulders, face, and back.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a widely recognized TCM practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to restore balance and alleviate various health conditions.
