Cupping
Traditional Chinese Medicine has many different techniques. Cupping is one of the oldest. Originating thousands of years ago, the first cups were made from animal horns. Now Acupuncture Physicians use glass, bamboo, or plastic cups.
At Axis Natural Medicine we use fire cupping. The practitioner lights a cotton ball soaked with alcohol and puts in into the cup. This creates a vacuum by removing the oxygen. The cotton ball is quickly removed and the cup is placed on the patients skin. This technique stimulates the flow of blood and qi, removes toxins from the body, reduces swelling and breaks up stagnation.
Cupping is frequently used to treat painful conditions such as headaches, abdominal pain, arthritis, and back pain. We also use this technique for respiratory disorders such as asthma, bronchitis and colds or the flu. Other areas we utilize cupping is for menstral issues, diarrhea, gastritis, infertility, and insomnia.
