Made famous by Gwyneth Paltrow and Victoria Beckham, acupuncture combined with bamboo cupping is a great way to kick start your health plan. This treatment is recommended for those who are turning their attention to healthy eating, exercise, quality sleep, skin health & lifestyle.
Cupping the ‘shu points’ (along the muscle either side of the spine) stimulates organ function for better health. The treatment moves Qi and Blood, relieving muscle pain & boosting the immune system.
“Chinese swimmer, Wang Qun, was photographed doing some last minute training in Beijing with round marks on her back from an acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. The marks on the swimmer’s back were caused by cupping. Cupping is a technique in which a glass cup or bamboo jar is suctioned onto the body. It is used to relieve muscle pain, especially back pain from stiffness or injury and to clear congestion in the chest, which can occur with common colds and influenza.” Diane Joswick
