Cup Therapy

Theres good reports and bad on this particular treatment. None the less, I did it! I can't find my camera to take a picture of my back! It leaves dark circular bruises on your back! Pretty funky I'd say! It was a fast and painless treatment. You just feel pressure where the suction cups are administered. It's a good pressure. I personally thought it felt really good. My acupuncturist offered me the treamtent after my traumatic fall. It did ease alot of muscle tension and by Tuesday, I felt alot better. Acupuncture cam into play with that as well. I get acupuncture every week. If you haven't tried it, you should! No! The needles aren't painful! They're so tiny and it makes a worlds a difference! I'm telling you, those Chinese are up to something! It's really helped with my Fibromyalgia! Check out Theturningpointacupuncture.com.

Oh, the things I do... eccentric or just awesome? Maybe both!






Cupping is an ancient Chinese method of causing local congestion. A partial vacuum is created in cups placed on the skin either by means of heat or suction. This draws up the underlying tissues. When the cup is left in place on the skin for a few minutes, blood stasis is formed and localized healing takes place

Cupping has also been found to affect the body up to four inches into the tissues, causing tissues to release toxins, activate the lymphatic system, clear colon blockages, help activate and clear the veins, arteries and capillaries, activate the skin, clear stretch marks and improve varicose veins. Cupping is the best deep tissue massage available. Cupping, the technique, is very useful and very safe and can be easily learned and incorporated into your family health practices.

I have never heard of cup therapy. Sounds interesting.

I haven't tried acupuncture. Mom mom had it done for months and months. I think she thought it was great.

Glad to hear your feeling better.
