（Click the video below to learn about the “Balanced Cupping Therapy” technique）
· Balanced Cupping Therapy is a type of cupping therapy and an important component of balanced acupuncture. It is based on the theory of Yin and Yang, utilizes the principles of neural conduction, and focuses on self-balance. This natural therapy employs various cupping techniques to affect the human body without medication.
· Mechanism of Balanced Cupping The balanced cupping therapy mainly employs techniques such as flash cupping, kneading cupping, moving cupping, shaking cupping, and retention cupping. It selects specific areas corresponding to the condition that can achieve a reparative balance effect, implementing beneficial stimuli such as pressing, pulling, and plucking. Utilizing the warming effect of cupping, it continuously feeds information back to the central nervous system, helping the body restore to a balanced state, thereby achieving effects such as unblocking meridians, regulating internal organs, balancing Yin and Yang, and treating chronic diseases.
· Differences Between Balanced Cupping and Traditional Cupping Balanced cupping is more systematic in treating diseases, primarily focusing on the lumbar and back areas, particularly along the Bladder Meridian (足太阳膀胱经) and the Governing Vessel (督脉). The stimulation is more intense, gradually penetrating deeper into the painful areas. Different treatment techniques are chosen based on the disease, incorporating various methods such as flash cupping, kneading cupping, moving cupping, shaking cupping, and retention cupping, all without side effects, effectively treating and preventing diseases. Based on the application of cupping for draining, specific warming techniques are used to maximize the effects of both draining and tonifying during treatment.· Techniques and Effects
