What is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. This therapeutic technique involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. The suction effect helps to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. There are different types of cupping, including dry cupping, which uses vacuum pressure to draw the skin into the cup, and wet cupping, which involves controlled medicinal bleeding. Often used to treat conditions such as back pain, sports injuries, and stress, cupping therapy is praised for its ability to stimulate blood flow and alleviate pain. This holistic approach not only helps in managing physical discomfort but also contributes to overall well-being and balance.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been practiced for over 5000 years and is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. It involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. It aims to restore smooth, balanced flow of "qi", which is vital energy, by targeting specific acu-points on the body. Numerous studies have proved the efficacy of acupuncture in pain reduction, enhanced circulation, and stress relief. Acupuncture is particularly valuable in pre and post natal care. It can help manage common discomforts of pregnancy such as nausea, morning sickness, and back pain, and also help turn a breech baby. Acupuncture is known to help with cervical ripening starting at 36 weeks to ensure a smoother childbirth. It can aid in childbirth recovery, balance hormones, and enhance milk production. It is a safe, effective, and painless approach to well-being. At most, you will feel a quick prick followed by sensation of warmth, soreness, or slight ache (if any). Many people find treatments to be relaxing and often fall asleep, which we like to call an "acu-nap". Overall, acupuncture harnesses the body's innate healing capacity to restore balance and makes it a powerful therapy for a wide range of health conditions.
