Cupping is used to relieve back and neck pain, stiff muscles, improve anxiety, fatigue, migraines, rheumatism, high blood pressure, improve the digestive system and even reduce cellulite through improved metabolism and bowel function. Many athletes utilize cupping to relieve muscle spasms. Cupping’s detoxifying effect on the skin and circulatory systems is significant because cupping removes toxins and improves blood flow through the veins and arteries.

Chinese herbology has the oldest continuous written history of any medical system on Earth. The “Shen Nong Ben Cao” (the Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica) was the first known Chinese herbal encyclopedia, dating from about 2700 BC, listed 365 medicinal plants and their uses.

Chinese herbal medicine continues to develop to meet modern diseases that arise. Modern physicians rely on Chinese herbs to treat an array of clinical conditions ranging from headaches, allergies, colds and flu, digestive disorders, gynecological and dermatological conditions, trauma, as well as chronic diseases . Whereas conventional medicine uses drug therapy to treat pain and disease at the expense of other organ systems, Chinese medicine employs classical and modern herbal formulas to address both internal and external health conditions.

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures or micro-injuries in the skin's surface. Here's how it works:

1. Stimulation of Collagen and Elastin: The micro-injuries trigger the skin's natural healing process, prompting the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for skin structure and elasticity.
2. Enhanced Absorption: The micro-channels created by the needles allow for better absorption of topical serums, creams, or other skincare products, maximizing their effectiveness.
3. Skin Regeneration: As the skin heals, it goes through a regeneration phase, leading to smoother, firmer, and more even-textured skin. This process can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, scars, hyperpigmentation, and other skin imperfections.
4. Safe and Controlled Treatment: When performed by a trained professional, microneedling is considered safe. The depth and pressure of the needles can be adjusted based on individual skin needs and concerns.

Overall, microneedling works by promoting natural skin rejuvenation through controlled injury, leading to improved texture, tone, and firmness over time.
