Cupping

[Guest guest]

Hi Teresa,

I have had cupping done on my back by my accupuncturist. It really hurt when

she put them on, and I was left with impressive marks - not really bruises-

but when the cups are taken off, it is a great relief, and the aches in my

backs were no where near as bad. My only suggestion is to make sure that the

area is covered when you go out for a few days, you can get strange looks!

Cheers

Jeanine

Thanks Kathleen for your reply. The wheels were turning so I decided to try

 

it on myself with a regular coffee cup. It did leave a nasty mark, which I

expected from my research on the subject. But it did do something for me.

It's

amazing.

Jeanine,

 

Did your acupunct. use fire cupping or manual? Fire is the lit cotton ball.

Manual is when a contraption of sorts is hooked to the cup and the air is

sucked out. Yeah, it hurt me too but that's because it was an area that was

tender so that is understandable. The marks were startling at first, but then I

did know about them. I just didn't know what to expect. In fact, some people

even experience bruising. But the marks didn't last too long. My tenderness

is nowhere near it was either. I specialize in Emotional Healing Massage and

I had a " clearing " in that respect with the cupping as well.

 

If I continue on with cupping, I have decided to use the manual suction

method because I will be able to control the amount of suction whereas with the

fire method control is rather limited.

 

Thanks for your input.
