The long awaited Asian Fire Cupping workshop for MT’s and RN’s is coming up at the Mueller Wellness Center on May 15th. This workshop is always a big hit with the attendees and everyone learns an exciting new skill that they can use right away. Of course I should mention that there is also a lot of Healing that goes on in the class too as we all get to experience a session of cupping as well as learn the practice of cupping. It’s an amazing experience and you will go home from this class with an excited mind and the free flow of Qi and Blood through your body.
The earliest use of cupping is recorded as 28 AD during the Han dynasty! Back then cups were made from animal horn and typically used for draining carbuncles and boils. The technique was called Jiaofa or the horn technique. Through several thousand years of clinical practice the applications and indications have become vast. Now it can be used to treat arthritis, asthma, the common cold chronic cough, indigestion, and some skin conditions. There is a saying in China: “Acupuncture and Cupping, more than half the ills cured.”
Cupping and the West
Thought to be the oldest medical text, Ebers Papyrus written in approximately 1550 BC, describes bleeding techniques by cupping. Galen and Hippocrates were also advocates of cupping. In the 1800’s “cuppers” were commonly employed in hospitals in both Europe and America. Cupping died out in the west in the early 20th century.
Cupping has continued over the last millennia in many cultures and has never disappeared from Chinese Medicine.
After teaching this class for nearly a decade, I have met participants from many regions and cultures throughout the world who share that they were first introduced to cupping by their elder relatives. Poland, Russia, Central America, the UK and Bulgaria are a few of the places were my students’ first experienced cupping as a home remedy. In Mexico a students Abuela, or grandmother, who was a traditional healer called cupping “Tazas de Fuego”.
If you are ready for more I hope you will join us on May 15th at Mueller Wellness Center for a day well spent!
