Publisher's Synopsis
An ancient Chinese method to remove local congestion/stasis in the body
Cupping has been found to be a very effective form of myofascial release. The cup can affect body tissues up to four inches, allowing the tissues to release toxins, activate the lymphatic system, remove stagnant blood, and promote the flow of new blood to release muscle tension. Cupping is useful and safe, and can be added to any massage treatment to improve its effect.
Gua Sha (Chinese: Gua Sha; Pinyin: gua sha), which means "Gua Sha", is a traditional Chinese medicine method that scrapes the skin to relieve stagnation, produce light Sha, and blood flow to the surface. Practitioners believe that Gua Sha can release unhealthy elements from the injured area and stimulate blood flow and healing.
