What is Cupping Therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine by Acupuncturist Jessica Wang

Cupping is an ancient therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine that

uses suction to stimulate acupuncture points and meridians, helping

regulate the flow of qi and blood. It is commonly used to relieve

muscle pain, improve circulation, boost immunity, and treat conditions

like rheumatism, digestive issues, and respiratory problems.

The therapy involves placing heated or suction cups on the skin to

create negative pressure. This may leave temporary marks, varying in

color depending on the individual’s body condition, which usually fade

in a few days. After treatment, patients are advised to stay warm,

avoid cold food or drinks for few hours, and refrain from physical

activity during that period to support the healing process. Contact
