Chinese medicine, an ancient art of healing, employs many time-honored techniques that are used to stimulate the body to activate its self-healing powers. In Asia, the use of acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion (a warming process) and herbal remedies have long been known to enhance the immune system and sense of well-being that are essential in keeping the body strong in its resistance to disease.

In ancient times, cupping known as the horn method, or the fire cup involved burning materials within a cup, to form a vacuum, which was then placed on the skin.
The build-up of negative pressure pulls the skin into the cup leading to a therapeutic effect on tissue in the area.
Cupping often leads to bruising which is an indication of blood congestion below the surface of the skin.
If slight bleeding occurs over the cupping area, it may indicate some pathological changes in the capillaries.
When edema is difficult to detect with the naked eye, cupping can easily produce blisters.

Moxibustion is the burning of the herb Artemisia Vulgaris (mugwort) on an acupuncture point and though other herbs are employed, mugwort is most widely used.
The heat stimulates the tissues and by action on the channels can regulate the Qi and Blood and is, therefore, a method of curing disease.
If Qi and Blood are in poor condition, Qi will not be strong enough to push the Blood in normal circulation, and the coldness will cause the stasis of Blood (for example: joint soreness and pain are caused both by cold weather and air conditioning).
