Cupping and Acupuncture
Cupping Therapy and Acupuncture go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly or Bread and Butter. Old analogies I know, but none the less true. Actually it is a fitting analogy. Acupuncture and Cupping have been used in concert with one another for hundreds of years.

First the physician would use acupuncture to treat the pain immediately . The follow up treatment would consist of a combination of tradition Chinese medicinal practices. Chinese massage herbal remedies and Cupping therapy.

The combination determined by the ailment and the severity of the ailment.

With muscle injuries cupping was often used as a treatment to speed the healing process. Contradictions where a breech of the skin surface such as abrasions or punctures.
Cupping was also used to treat ailments inside the body, particularly respiratory ailments.

The direct result of the cupping treatment is the movement of blood and tissue. The negative pressure applied directly to the skin pulls blood closer to the surface. This often results in microscopic tears, this causes no permanent damage. The tears actually promote healing of prior injuries.

According to Jerome Fitness.com
“One of the theories of building muscle is that working out (such as weight lifting or calisthenics) will make very small tears in the muscles (so-called micro-tears). Your muscles get “damaged” from working out is what is believed. When we rest, eat adequately and sleep we will rebuild those damaged muscles. Our body is smart and to avoid more damage it will make the muscles stronger and bigger to ensure it will not get these micro-tears again.”

With anything different or unfamiliar there always seems to be mistrust and doubt. Although Cupping Therapy may be relatively new to the west, it has been around for a while. And it is not confined to Chinese medicine. It was, and still is, practiced practically all over the world. Everything from animal horns to pieces of bamboo to silicone cups have been used.
The vacuum created by fire,steam heat, oral evacuation. And recently electric pumps or manual pumps all achieve the same end.
Move blood around and encourage healing. Activating a part of that magnificent marvel, the human body.

What some call alternative medicine treats us differently than Western medicine.

For example if you fall down and the cure is to get back up.

Alternative medicine: Here let me help you get up.

Western medicine : After giving you a hand full of pills Yells “GET UP”

Your body can handle just about anything. It would surprise you.

Proper nutrition is key.
That includes what you eat,what you drink, what you put on your skin, where you live and how you live.
There is a reason some people live long healthy lives and some people suffer and die young. By the way I consider 85 too young to die.

Be at Peace With Yourself and the rest is small stuff. And don’t sweat the small stuff.

What Is Cupping Good For? From Cupping Terapy Atlanta

One way to think about cupping is that it is the reverse of massage. Instead of applying pressure to muscles, with hands. The suction uses pressure to pull skin, tissue and muscles upward. I often combine cupping with acupuncture into one treatment, but it could also be used alone.
Cupping causes the skin to temporarily turn red, blue or purple. This is especially true if there is an injury or energetic blockage under the area that was cupped. The skin discoloration can last anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, but is rarely painful. Once the marks have cleared, the procedure can be repeated until the condition or ailment is resolved.

Cupping has many benefits. It can help remove toxins from the body. It will stimulate the flow of fresh blood, lymph, and Qi to the affected area and throughout the body. It often works wonders for patients with the flu, colds, coughs, back and muscle pain. Cupping treats poor circulation, anxiety, allergies, fevers, aches and myriad other pains.

Cupping is not exclusive to Traditional Chinese Medicine. Variations of this treatment were used by ancient Egyptians, North American Indians, and early Greeks. Cupping was also used in other Asian and European countries. Cupping therapy was recommended by Hippocrates. The man whom many consider to be the “Father of Modern Medicine,” in his guide to clinical treatment.

It should be noted that cupping is not be used on patients who bleed easily and/or cannot stop bleeding, have skin ulcers, or edema. It is unwise to cup over large blood vessels as well. Pregnant women should be cupped with extreme caution and never on their abdomen or lower back.
