Ever wondered about cupping - what it is and why we use it in Chinese Medicine. Cupping is one of the oldest and most beneficial treatment of Traditional Chinese Medicine and it is most typically used to heal swollen, painful or still joints, to clear a head cold, to increase circulation or remove toxins from the skin. The Cupping procedure involves a glass jar being applied to the patient’s skin and as the pressure of the jar is reduced (either by heat or suction) vital energy is freed which helps the body to work more efficiently. Cupping is particularly effective in improving blood circulation, performing deep tissue repair and treating areas of the body that have been affected by pain.

As the weather gets damper sinus sufferers can feel the all too familiar symptoms of facial pain, breathing difficulties, head pressure, stuffy noses and foggy thinking. If this is you don’t despair – sinus and sinusitis can be naturally treated with acupuncture, acupressure and Chinese herbs. Acupuncture uses small painless disposable needles to stimulate points on the temples, nose and forehead, which cause the sinuses to drain naturally alleviating the pain associated with the blockage. Acupressure is also used to stimulate the trapped mucus to move. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, sinus is caused by a number of imbalances in the body and the task of your Chinese Medicine practitioner is to discover the source of the imbalance and then create an individualised tailor made plan to the illness. For some sinus can be triggered by an attack of the wind. For example the Chinese say ‘catch the wind’ in the same way we say ‘catch a cold’ and catching ...

Too often we are told that less calorie intake and more exercise is the solution to shedding the pounds and although this helps, it is not the full solution.
