What are
Moxibustion & cupping?
Two classic Chinese medicine therapies, often used alongside acupuncture.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a classic Chinese medicine treatment that applies heat. Warming specific acupuncture points warms the body, increases blood flow and nourishes the immune system.
Cupping
Cupping applies suction to the skin using glass or plastic cups, creating a kind of reverse massage. Cupping helps separate the myofascia from the muscle to alleviate painful muscle adhesions. It helps increase blood circulation, relax tight muscles and reduce pain.
Both are often combined with acupuncture during a visit.
