Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy involves a therapist heating special cups (made from glass, bamboo, earthenware, or silicone) and placing them on your skin for a few minutes. The heat from the cups creates suction which helps several issues, including pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation, and even a type of deep-tissue massage. Like other Eastern medicine techniques, cupping has been around since at least 1550 B.C. in Egypt.
Gua Sha
Gua sha, which predates even acupuncture, involves “scraping” your skin with a smooth-edged massage tool to improve circulation and minimize inflammation in muscles and joints. This technique is also used by physical therapists, chiropractors, and other health practitioners and is known as the myofascial release technique. A practitioner will often perform gua sha on a person’s back, buttocks, and limbs, as well as a gentler version on the face.
Moxa
Moxa (or moxibustion) is an herbal heat therapy that increases stimulation and blood flow to the different acupuncture points and corresponding tissue. The main herb used in moxa is mugwort, an aromatic herb related to daisies. Moxa can help treat pain, digestive problems, immune system, and even correct a baby in breech position.
