Cupping + Acupuncture for the Change of Seasons

Cups are “working” on the left. Cups marks remain for 3-10 days depending on how dark the coloration is, which varies from person to person and cup to cup

Cupping plus acupuncture helps you get in the flow for the change of seasons and can help release built-up toxins in your system. This is the way to jump-start your Qi for Spring!

8 cups and 8 needles, and you’re good to go!

A “cupping detox” is applied to your shoulder blades and tops of shoulders. The supporting acupuncture treatment is 8 needles, and you rest for approximately 20 minutes with the needles in—chill time!

This is a perfect treatment for you if you…
1. regularly enjoy a drink or two or three
2. if you take any prescription, Tylenol, Motrin, other over-the-counter drugs, or recreational drugs, or if you took a short course of necessary drugs, like antibiotics, steroids or anti-fungal meds
3. if you have a sweet tooth that frequently needs indulging
4. if your bowels are irregular
5. or you’ve had surgery in the last year (and have successfully recovered).
6. if you recently went on a juice fast or cleansing/detox program
7. or if you’re feeling sluggish because of… pandemic??!

This is not a particularly good option for you at this time if you are currently dealing with an infectious disease or active illness, or undergoing conventional treatment for cancer.

What to do after your treatment: Drink a lot of water, at least 2 quarts before bed. Keep your upper back covered and stay out of drafts for the first 36-48 hours. DO NOT schedule a strenuous work-out after your treatment. It’s best to wait until the following day for that.

If you’re not sure if a Spring Change of Seasons treatment is right for you, please call for a complimentary consultation.

      once someone has experienced cupping, they tend to want it again!

  1. I’ve heard of cupping but never had this treatment. I have had acupuncture though.

      There are a cluster of practices that most acupuncturists use that add “topspin” to a treatment, and cupping is one of the most famous ones. I hope you have an opportunity to experience it someday.
