Warming Yang Cupping Therapy
Warming Yang Cupping combines expelling cold and supplementing heat, integrating cupping, moxibustion, organ massage, and herbal hot compresses. It utilizes the combustion of alcohol to consume oxygen in the cup, creating negative pressure that adheres to the skin, providing both the negative pressure effect of cupping and the warming effect of moxibustion on acupoints.
Warming Yang Cupping not only overcomes the limitation of traditional cupping, which can only expel cold but cannot supplement heat, but also warms the original Yang, disperses cold and dampness, promotes circulation, strengthens the spleen and eliminates dampness, benefits Qi and invigorates blood, reduces swelling and dissipates nodules, and balances Yin and Yang. It is particularly effective for Yang deficiency and cold body, excessive dampness and obesity, and irregular menstruation and other conditions.

Warming Yang Cupping Treatment
As the ancient saying goes: “When the Ren and Du meridians are unblocked, all meridians are unblocked.” The Ren and Du meridians are part of the eight extraordinary meridians, with the Ren meridian governing blood and encompassing all Yin meridians, serving as the sea of Yin meridians; the Du meridian governs Qi and oversees all Yang meridians, serving as the sea of Yang meridians. The treatment area for Warming Yang Cupping primarily focuses on the lower abdomen, following the pathways of the Ren and Du meridians in the body.
The treatment duration for Warming Yang Cupping is 30 minutes, performed daily or every other day, with a course of 7 to 10 sessions.
