Cupping/ Acupressure Chinese Principles

Service Description

Acupressure is a manual therapeutic technique from traditional Chinese medicine that involves applying firm pressure to specific acupoints on the body with the fingers or hands. This method stimulates the body's natural healing processes by increasing blood circulation and releasing endorphins. The goal is to alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, and manage symptoms like nausea and anxiety. Chinese cupping is a traditional practice that originated in ancient China. It involves placing special cups, typically made of glass, bamboo, or silicone, on the skin to create a suction effect. This suction pulls the skin and underlying tissues upward, which is believed to help with a variety of ailments. The cups are often heated before being applied, which creates a vacuum as the air inside cools. This therapy aims to promote blood flow, release muscle tension, and unblock the body's natural energy pathways, known as meridians. While it often leaves distinctive circular marks that resemble bruises, it is considered a non-invasive treatment used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall well-being.
