Cupping Commentary

sharing your cupping experiences

From the lens Cupping (fire cupping).

If you've had cupping done for a medical condition, please share your experience with other readers! Do you find you like the deep tissue manipulation or the pressure? How do you feel about the marks that you get from being cupped? What parts of your body does this help you with the most, and for what physical ailments?

    I saw other doing cupping before, but I never try it on myself. I believe it works for some muscles related problem, but when look at the mark after doing it, I need to rethink about it and make myself brave enough to try it. LOL

    I I tried cupping several years ago and I must say that they were very effective against my sore muscles. For more sore the day after, but after two days quite well. Thank you for sharing your experience at all.

    Cupping is awesome. My acupuncturist taught me how to do it at home.

    Just got back from my accupuncturist where I had cupping done for the first time. Normally, I cannot get off his table without pain and help from him, but today I was able to get off myself with no pain. (Sure, I have lots of red circles all over my lower back, but hey - I'm feeling good!)
    Going to my accupuncturist is my last option - I've tried everything from decompression to epidurals, which only last 2-3 months. They all told me I need surgery (fusion, screws, pins & rods and wearing a body cast for 3-4 months) but I'm putting that off as long as I can. Maybe with my present treatments, I may never need to go that far.
    If you're wondering what my problem is - severe stenosis, degenerative discs and arthritis. I take 1-2 Vicadin daily but last night I went to bed without taking my nightly dose. Yeah!!

    Great Lens. As a practitioner who has been using cupping for 10 years, I found it very thorough. In Shanghai at Shuguang hospital I was cupped for neck pain...helped dramatically.

    I caught part of a special about this on the Discovery Channel, but they didn't explain it nearly as well as your lens has. Thanks!

    Awesome Euryale! Boy am I behind, I didn't know anything about cupping, so I thank you for this information and welcome you to the Natural Medicine Group.
