Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 http://www.eardoc.com/cupping.htm One site among many that explains it. I have been getting acupuncture treatments for constipation and it actually works. That is to say I tried all else. Also what is being treated is my neuralgia and it helped so much. I wanted to mention this other form of treatment acupuncturists offer and that is cupping. I only had one treatment and it worked. My problem has been for years on having pain in my left pelvic in the area of my colon. Had it since I was told I had IBS. I got rid of all of my IBS symptoms except that pain. The pain wasn't extremely bad but I didn't know why I had this. My doctor places a plastic vacuum cup right on the spot that bugged me. Left it there for awhile. This usually develops a hickey mark that goes away in a few days. It seems to release the congestion there. I don't know what the congestion is. If it is toxins that couldn't find their way out, increased oxygen and hormones in this area, don't know. But it worked for me. Thought that any of you that having fibro problems and IBS symptoms might want to look into seeing if this would benefit you too. It is supposed to help relieve stubborn muscle cramps also. Was interested if anyone else tried this and what their results were. Liz D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
