As a form of alternative medicine, cupping therapy delivers healing effects by improving blood circulation, helping to manage pain and inflammation, promoting smoother flow of qi through meridian points, boosting skin health, improving digestion, and eliminating cold and dampness in the body. The process of cupping works to expand the capillaries to increase the amount of fluid that enters and leaves muscle tissues. It involves local suction on the skin through the vacuum created by heating and subsequent cooling of the air in the cup. Because of its easy application and immediate effects, cupping therapy has been practiced in China since ancient times and remains to this day as a form of traditional medicine for preventing illnesses and improving health. The book covers eight areas: internal medicine, surgery, ENT and ophthalmology, dermatology, andrology and gynecology (with 65 common illnesses), as well as sub-health condition and health and complexion enhancement, with cupping options for various target skin areas.
