Chinese Medicine has developed many methods over the last four thousand years not just to treat medical conditions, but to help strengthen the body and bring it into balance, so as to prevent illness from occurring in the first place.

It is often used to boost the energy, blood and hormones within the body to help it blossom and shine forth with good health.

For over a thousand years, many Chinese have also used its treatments to slow down aging. This has been particularly popular with the wealthy and upper classes in China ...

Cupping is becoming more and more popular, It is now often used by celebrities all around the world. 

Just some of the recent celebrities to be snapped by paparazzi with cupping marks on their backs include Lady Gaga, Jennifer Aniston, Victoria Beckham, Denise Richards, Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears, Lena Dunham, Gwyneth Paltrow, Anna Lynne McCord and Chris Martin.

Cupping stimulates the lungs to absorb oxygen more effectively by strengthening them and clearing them of any build up of unwanted fluids and phlegm.

With more oxygen in the blood stream, all organs get an uplifting energetic boost, including the mind and its' emotions.

In particular, cupping is useful for boosting the energy that feeds the immune system. Which helps to create more power to make white cells and natural killer cells when they are needed to fight off infections.

It is also great as part of the treatment for lung based conditions such as asthma. I have often used it as part of my treatments here in the Leixlip Chinese Medicine Clinics. It is very effective.

My clients also find it to be a very relaxing treatment. The back is gently massaged with oil and then the cups are placed over Acupuncture points to create the healing and strengthening effects.

After a treatment, the client may have round cupping marks visible on their skin. But don't worry, these marks will disappear very quickly and are not in the least bit painful.

A Cupping Therapy treatment in the Leixlip Chinese Medicine Clinic is only 35 euro for a 40 minute treatment. Relaxing and reviving Infra-Red Heat therapy is provided with the treatment at no extra cost.
