Cupping is a method of applying acupressure by creating a vacuum next to the patient's skin. In Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) it involves placing glass, plastic, or bamboo cups on the skin with a vacuum. Cupping has been found to penetrate the tissue four inches into the body: causing tissues to release toxins; activating the lymphatic system; clearing stretch marks; and improving varicose veins. Cupping is the best deep tissue massage available.

Gua Sha, Gua meaning to scrape or extract and Sha, meaning sand or toxins. It is a traditional ancient Chinese healing technique that dates back over two thousand years. This ancient method is used to promote Chi or bioelectric vital life energy, blood circulation and removal of toxic heat, stagnant blood and lymph fluid from the body.
