Bentosa or Cupping

Bentosa


An ancient treatment practiced in many cultures around the world known as "cupping" or "Ba Guan", uses the creation of a vacuum against the patient's skin to create a stimulating effect. Cupping is beneficial for stagnation of blood and energy (qi) in the body.

How does cupping work?

Ancient Chinese Medicine prescribes this technique in cases where "stagnation" must be treated, commonly in th elungs, when it is used to treat coughs, and tightness or congestion in the chest.

It draws stagnant qi from deep within to the surface to be released, so easing pain,. It is also sometimes used to treat muskuloskeletal pain. Often, it is used in conjuction with other techniques, like acupuncture and acupressure.

In addition to treating the stagnation - based illnessess, cupping has been reported to leave a long-term feeling of relaxation and invigoration. It does not harm you when performed by someone properly trained in the technique, and is perfectly safe to use in conjunction with other more mainstream forms of medicine. It is very popular in China and Korea and has a long history of use in acupuncture practice.

It leaves distinctive circular marks when done properly. the areas may feel as if they were sunburned for a short while.

Moxibustion

Moxibustion

Is a form of fire heat treatment that stimulates specific acupuncture points of the body.

The term is drived from the japanese "mogusa" meaning herb (mugwort) and the latin "bustion" meaning burning.

Benefits, theory and practice

Practitioners use moxa to warm regions and acupuncture points with the intention of stimulating circulation through the points and inducing a smoother flow of blood and qi. Research, for example at Mugwort has shown that mugwort acts as an emmenagogue, meaning that it stimulates blood-flow in the pelvic area and uterus. It is claimed that moxibustion militates against cold and dampness in the body and can serve to turn breech babies.

Moxibustion therapy in conjunction with acupuncture can be very effective for many diseases and conditions including back pain, muscle stiffness, headaches, migraines, tendonitis, arthritis, digestive disorders, anxiety, and female health problems such as menstrual cramps, irregular periods, and infertility.

Practitioners consider moxibustion to be especially effective in the treatment of chronic problems, "deficient conditions" (weakness), and gerontology,. Bian Que (fl. circa 500 BC), one of the most famous semi-legendary doctors of the Chinese antiquity and the first specialist in moxibustion, discussed the benefits of moxa over acupuncture in his classic work. He asserted that moxa could add new energy to the body and could treat both excess and deficient conditions.
