Acupuncture is only one piece of the Chinese medicine toolkit. In this episode, let's explore one of the most commonly used therapies in clinical practice: Cupping.

Let's look at cupping therapy from both a Traditional Chinese Medicine and global historical perspective, breaking down how and when to use it, what the different techniques actually do, and how to apply it safely and confidently in practice. I also share personal clinical experiences that highlight both the benefits and the learning curves that come with cupping.

This episode is designed to help practitioners and students integrate cupping more effectively while strengthening patient trust through education and clear communication.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The different types of cups and cupping techniques, and when to use each
• Key indications, functions, and safety considerations for cupping therapy
• How cupping has been used across cultures and throughout history
• Why patient education and communication are essential for successful cupping treatments

💥 Whether you’re new to cupping or refining your technique, this episode offers practical guidance to help you use this therapy safely, effectively, and with intention.
