Fire Cupping
Fire cupping is a time-honored therapy that has been practiced across cultures for centuries. Its earliest recorded use dates back to 281-341 AD, noted by Taoist alchemist and herbalist Ge Hong. By the 1830s, cupping had become so respected that English hospitals employed dedicated “cuppers” as part of their medical staff.
During a cupping session, cups are placed on the skin and a vacuum is created, drawing the skin and underlying tissue into the cup. This therapeutic suction:
- Moves stagnant energy and blood
- Regulates circulation
- Releases muscle tension
- Promotes natural healing
While the therapy can leave circular marks, these typically fade within a few days, reflecting the body’s rejuvenation process.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha is a therapeutic technique that involves using a specialized tool to release tension and stimulate healing.
Particularly effective for:
- Addressing muscular tension
- Supporting immune function
- Improving circulation
- Promoting healing through increased blood flow
- Alleviating pain and stiffness
Moxibustion
Moxibustion, or “moxa,” is a traditional Chinese Medicine technique where the herb mugwort is burned to produce therapeutic heat. This gentle warming therapy:
- Helps scatter cold from the body
- Restores depleted energy
- Brings balance to body systems
- Supports healing of injuries
- Treats both excess and deficient conditions
FROM LESLIE: One of the beautiful benefits of moxa is its versatility and ability to be incorporated into your self-care routine. It empowers you to take an active role in your healing journey, fostering accountability and a deeper connection to your own health and well-being.
