Cupping and weight loss
TCM practitioners believe that the liver governs the flow of vital life energy, or qi, and the spleen is responsible for pulling qi from food and allocating it to the rest of the body. Weight loss issues could mean that one of these two systems are not working properly; your qi has begun to stagnate. TCM practitioners perform the process of cupping in order to remove this stagnation at a deep level, allowing your qi to circulate as it is intended to do.
Typically, 5-7 cups are used, particularly if you’re just starting out. The most common placement is on your back. A flame is inserted into the cup to heat it up, then the cup is placed on your back. As the cup cools, a vacuum forms, creating a sucking movement of your skin and tissues. Red or black welts are the result, but they are not painful, and go away within a few days. The toxins and harmful substances are ‘sucked’ out, leaving you feeling refreshed and relaxed.
Chinese cupping in Toronto ON can be an ideal way to get your body’s metabolism back on track so you can finally lose those unwanted pounds.
