🫙 What Is Cupping Therapy?
Ever wondered why people have round marks on their backs after treatment?

Cupping is a traditional therapy used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to help the body restore balance and improve circulation.

✨ How it works
Special cups are placed on the skin to create gentle suction. This helps:
• Move Qi (energy) and Blood
• Relieve muscle tension & stiffness
• Reduce pain and heaviness
• Support detoxification & circulation

🌿 What conditions may benefit?
✔ Neck & shoulder tightness
✔ Back pain & muscle soreness
✔ Fatigue & stress
✔ Cold hands & feet
✔ Dampness or poor circulation patterns (TCM view)

🟣 Are the marks normal?
Yes. Cupping marks are not bruises.
Their color and how fast they fade give practitioners clues about circulation and stagnation in the body.
Most marks fade within a few days.

🧘‍♀️ Is cupping painful?
Usually no. Most people describe it as a warm, pulling sensation and feel relaxed afterward.

⚠️ Important note
Cupping is personalized. A TCM practitioner will assess your body condition before treatment.

🌿 What Can Actually Help With?
Have you ever wondered…
👉 Is Traditional Chinese Medicine only for pain?
👉 Can it help with stress, sleep, or digestion?
The answer is — , and more.
✨ In clinical practice, TCM is commonly used for:
🔥Body Aches & pain
Neck, shoulders, lower back, joints — especially when pain keeps coming back
🔥 Digestive issues
Bloating, poor appetite, reflux, constipation, or sensitive stomach
🔥 Women’s health concerns
Irregular periods, cramps, PMS, fertility support, postpartum recovery
🔥 Stress, sleep & fatigue
Feeling tired all the time? Trouble sleeping? Mind won’t slow down?
🔥 Long-term health support
Chronic conditions where the body needs regulation, not just symptom control
🩺 So how does TCM work?
Instead of asking only “Where does it hurt?”,
TCM asks:
💭 Why is the body out of balance?
Through personalised assessment (pulse, tongue, symptoms, lifestyle), treatments are tailored to support your body’s own healing ability.

How Helps Reduce Stress During IVF ?
Going through IVF can be stressful. Anxiety, worry, and tension can affect your body and even your chances of a successful implantation. Acupuncture can help your body and mind feel calmer throughout the IVF process.
How It Works🤔🤔
Acupuncture works by helping your nervous system relax:
❤️Slows down your heart rate
❤️Calms your mind and emotions
❤️Helps you sleep better
❤️Reduces nervousness before procedures, like egg retrieval or embryo transfer
By doing Acupuncture, it also helps to regulate your body’s :
⭐Lowers stress hormone (cortisol) levels
⭐Balances your body’s stress response system
⭐Releases natural feel-good chemicals (endorphins) that make you feel calm and comfortable
Why Matters in IVF
High stress can cause:
⬇️Reduced blood flow to your uterus
⬆️Increased uterine tension or contractions
⬇️Lower chances for the embryo to implant properly
By reducing stress, acupuncture helps create a calm, stable environment in your body so your uterus is ready for the embryo.
Why This Matters for You
Non-invasive and safe — it won’t interfere with your IVF medications

Helps you feel calmer, sleep better, and cope with IVF procedures

Supports better blood flow to your uterus, which is important for implantation
If you’re exploring fertility options or looking to enhance your current treatment plan, consider visiting a trusted TCM practitioner near you for supportive, personalized care. 🌸

Do you know? Acupuncture can actually Improve & Blood Flow?
Several Doppler ultrasound studies and reviews consistently report that can improve pelvic blood , particularly to the uterus and ovaries, which are critical during cycles.
What Doppler studies show
📌After acupuncture, researchers have observed:
↓ Uterine artery Pulsatility Index (PI)
↓ Resistance Index (RI)
↑ Endometrial and sub-endometrial blood perfusion
These findings indicate lower vascular resistance and better tissue oxygenation in the uterus and ovaries.
📌How improves blood flow
Acupuncture affects blood flow through mechanisms, not by forcing circulation.
📌Key mechanisms include:
nervous system regulation
❤️Reduced sympathetic tone leads to vasodilation
❤️Increased parasympathetic activity supports stable blood flow
❤️Nitric oxide (NO)–mediated vasodilation
📌Acupuncture endothelial NO release

NO relaxes smooth muscle in blood vessels, improving perfusion
Reduction of pelvic vasospasm
Especially relevant in patients with stress, thin endometrium, or repeated IVF failure
These effects are functional and reversible, which is why repeated sessions tend to show more consistent results.
📌Why this matters in
Adequate uterine and ovarian blood flow is essential for:
⭐Follicular nourishment and oxygen delivery
⭐Endometrial growth and maturation
⭐Optimal endometrial receptivity during implantation
📌Poor blood flow has been associated with:
😢thin endometrium
😢higher uterine artery resistance
😢lower implantation rates
By improving perfusion, acupuncture helps create a better-prepared “implantation environment.”
📌Link to improved Clinical Pregnancy Rate (CPR)
This improvement in blood flow is one of the strongest biological explanations for why many studies observe:
🔥higher implantation rates
🔥improved clinical pregnancy rates (CPR)
If you’re exploring fertility options or looking to enhance your current treatment plan, consider visiting a trusted TCM practitioner near you for supportive, personalized care. 🌸
