Herbal Medicine is an internal form of Traditional Chinese Medicine that has evolved for thousands of years and is a vital part of treatment, that can be used by itself or in support of acupuncture and other TCM therapies.
Chinese Herbal Medicine is derived from organic substances such as plants, minerals and some animal products.
Many of the pharmaceuticals prescribed today are derived from these same materials, using an isolated compound that provides a specific therapeutic effect.
While herbal medicine does not fall into the same category as pharmaceuticals, and are usually considered safe for use with limited side effects, the FDA still classifies the herbs as a dietary supplement and are regulated under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA).

Cupping is a therapy that utilize cups to create a vacuum/suction that is placed on the body.
You can think of cupping as a reverse massage.
The therapy can produce surface level bruising, but it is painless and extremely effective in treating a variety of conditions.
Cupping is a traditional therapy used for over 2,500 years in many countries across the world.
Cupping is still practiced today in over 60 countries for a variety of ailments and conditions.
While the exact mechanisms as to how cupping works are still being researched, current theories believe that the suction force increases blood supply to the tissue by dilating local capillaries, which causes them to rupture, and promote lymphatic circulation.
