How often can I add cupping to my acupuncture sessions?

What good is a glass fire cup without a tense muscle to put it on? 🔥💪🏻

We often have patients discover the magic of Chinese fire cupping, love their results, and then ask how often they can add it to their acupuncture sessions.

While this answer really is individualized per patient, most can have it performed weekly. In extreme cases, cupping can be performed twice weekly but only when assessed as appropriate by an acupuncturist!

Your practitioner may avoid areas that continue to show color, or “sha”, from the previous treatment. These marks are usually a sign of stagnant blood.

Cupping facilitates the healthy movement of blood and qi in those stagnant areas, while decreasing inflammation, pain and stiffness.
