Ponder Natural Health Notes

There is an interesting treatment technique in Traditional Chinese Medicine known as cupping. It’s not used a lot in the West and not well known here in the States. A few years ago Gwyneth Paltrow showed up in public sporting the distinctive circular marks the technique leaves on the skin, but I haven’t seen much reference to it lately.

Occasionally I get reminded that a lot of people who could benefit greatly from acupuncture are too fearful of needles to even give it a try. Since I spend my day sticking needles in people who mostly love it, I forget what a huge issue this is for so many. So I want to talk a bit about needling sensation, and why you’re probably going to like it - or at least discover that it is no big deal.
