Fire Cupping

Fire Cupping has been around for a very long time, yet many people don’t know what it is.  Several glass cups of different sizes are used to help with intestinal disorders, lung disorders, sore muscles/tight muscles/muscles spasms, colds, immune system, relaxation, lymphatic system, and more.  A cotton ball soaked in alcohol is lit and held inside the glass cups to take all the oxygen out of the cups, then the cups are layed on specific spots on the body (depending what condition is being treated) the skin under the cups are sucked into the cups and a tight suction is formed, bringing blood to the surface, helping with circulation as well as stagnant blood, and blocked qi (pronounced chee).  I am very excited about offering this service in our practice.  I feel it will help a lot of people, and my husband (who I practiced on) loves it!  He does Jiu Jitsu so his muscles get sore, and this really helps, also he said it made him relax.  He doesn’t like to sit still long enough to get acupuncture and he hate to get a massage, but he loved this!  If you have any questions leave me a message or give me a call 913-825-3900.
