Cupping is an ancient Chinese therapy (281-341 A. D.) in which a jar (bamboo or glass) is put on the skin surface to cause local congestion through the negative pressure created by introducing heat in the form of an ignited material. During ancient times, cupping was known as the Horn Method, which was used for draining pustules. The modern name for cupping is baguanfa (suction cup therapy) . Stationary (dry cupping) and gliding cupping (wet cupping) techniques are commonly used today with baby oil or lotion.

Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to press key points on the skin to stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities. When these points are pushed, they release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and the body's life force to aid healing. Acupuncture and acupressure use the same points, but acupuncture employs needles, while acupressure uses the gentle but firm pressure of hands (and even feet) .

Chinese herbs are an significant part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and can be considered the sidekick of acupuncture. The utilization of herbology in TCM can be dated as far back as over 3000 years. Chinese herbs are sometimes used alone in cases where the patient decline acupuncture. However, research supports that traditional modes of acupuncture and herbs produce greater results.

Chinese herbs now come in many different forms. The classic dried form is formulated together and cooks as a tea. This is one of the best ways to take Chinese herbs/formulas. There are also pills, capsules, powders, and granulated forms for the people who would rather not taste the pungent flavor of the herbs. Each formula can consist of 4-20 different herbs depending on what is being cured.
