Cupping and Moxibustion have been used for centuries for health maintenance and to treat pathologies. While both CM modalities stimulate the qi, blood and lymph, they work in different ways (cupping creates a vacuum to draw the stagnation out and moxibustion is external heat therapy applied by the burning of mugwort). Each class will review the benefits and different procedures for each modality as well as protocol for treating a variety of diseases from the common cold, muscle aches, digestive disorders, Irregular Menstruation, Headache to sports injuries. Students will have time for practical application so they may offer these modalities as a natural extension to their practice.
