Q. What does each of acupuncture, moxibustion and cupping do?
Acupuncture normalises circulation and releases tension in the fascia and the deep muscles. Cupping draws out stagnant blood, and moxibustion delivers warmth to help circulation.
📝 Detailed Answer
- Acupuncture — normalises the circulation of qi and blood and relaxes tension in the surface fascia and the deep muscles
- Cupping — draws stagnant blood and waste out of the body to help circulation
- Moxibustion — delivers warmth to the area to help blood circulation and the recovery of tissue function
- Herbal medicine — prescribed to suit your constitution and condition. We use it to settle inflammation, or to replenish what recovery needs
- ICT electrotherapy — relaxes the soft tissue at the symptomatic area and reduces pain
It is rare to use only one. The combination differs with the condition and the stage, and we adjust it as things progress.
