Cupping, Moxa and TuiNa |

Cupping Cupping is a traditional technique using glass cupping jars, in which a vacuum has been created, to relieve pain and tension in muscles and joints. Gwyneth Paltrow, who attended a film premier with cupping marks clearly visible on her back, recently brought cupping to public attention. It is interesting to note that if there is cold or blood stagnation causing shoulder or back pain, the cupping will cause these marks, which are painless.

Moxibustion This is an extremely pleasant, warming treatment and is often used on people who complain of feeling the cold. Special Chinese herbs, which are shredded and dried, are burned to create warmth. This is also known as moxa, and is either used on the needle handles or directly on the skin, in which case it is removed before it is completely burned down.
