Cupping therapy is an ancient Chinese method of causing local congestion. A partial vacuum is created by cups placed on the skin using either heat or suction. When the cup is left in place for a few minutes, βblood stasisβ is formed and localized healing takes place. The cups draw up the underlying tissues to circulate Qi and blood, release toxins and activate the lymphatic system.
Moxibustion is a traditional form of heat therapy that involves the safe, controlled burning of a Chinese herb on or near acupuncture points or body areas to warm and invigorate Qi and promote healing. It is quite well-known for its use in helping to turn a breech baby, but is also utilized for many concerns and conditions throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
