Question 1

Does cupping help with stress-induced muscle tension?

Accepted Answer

Yes, stress chronically tightens neck, shoulder, and back muscles. Cupping relaxes muscles and improves blood circulation, releasing physical tension and supporting mental calm.

Question 2

Does physical therapy help with insomnia?

Accepted Answer

Heat therapy and electrical stimulation stabilize the autonomic nervous system, helping improve sleep quality. Combined with acupuncture and herbal medicine, the effect is greater.

Question 3

Is moxibustion effective for mental health too?

Accepted Answer

Yes, moxibustion supplements yang energy and warms the body, helping with low energy, loss of motivation, and chronic fatigue (qi deficiency symptoms). Particularly effective for those with depression and lethargy.

Question 4

How long do cupping marks last?

Accepted Answer

They usually fade within three to seven days. The darker the colour, the longer they last.

Question 5

Does cupping help with a tight feeling in the chest too?

Accepted Answer

It can help with tightness coming from muscle tension. However, a cardiac problem must be ruled out first.

Question 6

Does moxibustion not leave burns or scars?

Accepted Answer

We use electronic moxibustion. As no mugwort is burned, there is less smoke and less burn risk.
