When 23-times Olympic gold medallist Michael Phelps finished first at the 2016 Rio Olympics, global attention was drawn on the pepperoni-like rings on his back. While in the West, cupping is a wellness buzzword, flaunted by Hollywood biggies like Jennifer Anniston and Gwyneth Paltrow, in Asia we know that cupping is a centuries old Chinese therapy practiced under the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which&nbsp;uses localized pressure to promote healing and reduce pain in the body.&nbsp;Attributed for removing toxins, chronic pain, muscle tension, used in ancient days to treat&nbsp;lung conditions like bronchitis and pneumonia &#8211;&nbsp;cupping is a therapy worth the purple splotches!

Cupping is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that uses special glass cups that are warmed with flames to create a vacuum that applies suction&nbsp;to the targeted areas of the body. It is non-invasive and does not hurt.
&nbsp;
What are the benefits of cupping?
Cupping is commonly used to treat muscle pain and promote blood circulation. Believed as a way to &#8220;create an exit for all toxins within the body to be released&#8221;, explains Dr. Michelle Zhang, Balance Health&#8217;s in-house TCM doctor. &#8220;The combination of suction can activate the self-healing power of the body&#8221;, she says.
In fact, recent research suggests that cupping affects the body&#8217;s own natural healing ability.&nbsp;According to Dr. Clara Chan of Oriental Health, &#8220;When the skin surface is stimulated by the suction of the cups, the body sends to activate its neuroendocrine-immune system — [the body&#8217;s regulatory network that consists of the nervous, endocrine and immune system], producing therapeutic effect from within.&nbsp;
Other benefits include:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Relieving muscle, back, shoulder and neck pain, including conditions such as&nbsp;fibromyalgia</li>
<li>Help treat chronic muscle pain and muscle injuries</li>
<li>Promote muscle relaxation and reduce anxiety</li>
<li>Detoxing organs, improve blood circulation and alleviate digestive problems, such as bloating, gastric reflux and constipation conditions.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Boost immunity and help relieve cold &amp; flu</li>
<li>Help treat&nbsp;Bell&#8217;s palsy (a facial muscle weakness or paralysis)</li>
<li>Help reduce Acne</li>
</ul>
How does it work and feel?

For first time cupping patients, it may be difficult at first to feel comfortable&nbsp;lying faced down and shirtless while someone lights up a set of glass cups with flames then places them on your back. But the sensation is oddly comfortable. The heat is warm, and the suction is at first tight but you begin to feel the release of stagnant energy within.&nbsp;
Before the actual treatment, an initial survey of the patient&#8217;s lifestyle and observation of the his/her pulse, tongue and skin colour by the TCM doctor will provide a clearer understanding the patient&#8217;s condition. The therapy begins with &#8220;flash cupping&#8221;, a method that involves rapidly placing and removing the suction cups on different areas of the body. This helps reveal which areas of the body have the most blood stasis or dampness (water retention) which helps determine which areas to target. The cups&nbsp; are then left on for up to 10 minutes.&nbsp;
The different types of Cupping:&nbsp;
Besides flash cupping and dry cupping (described above), there is also wet cupping. The difference between wet cupping and dry cupping is that a tiny incision is made on the skin let out some blood — said to promote better blood circulation.&nbsp;The type of cupping and number of cups used, as well as positions varies from person to person, depending on their condition.
Various cupping tools can also be used though glass is most effective, while silicone can be used to target trickier areas such as the joints. Plastic cups, on the other hand are used manually which can be convenient for those who prefer to practice cupping on themselves.
What do the red marks mean?
After the treatment, patients will bare a series of bruised circles on their bodies. Although the marks can take a few days to disappear, they are painless. Of course, many will be curious to understand just what these markings mean.
The marks can appear in different shades from light to dark, indicating the level of dampness or stagnation within the body. The darker the mark, the higher the level of toxins and stagnant energy, while a paler shade indicates dampness or high levels of water retention, though pale purple marks can mean qi blood deficiency. Don&#8217;t hesitate to ask your TCM doctor if there is anything that you don&#8217;t undeerstand.
Who should avoid cupping?

How often can I go cupping?
For general pain management, Dr. Michelle Law of Vitality Center generally recommends 3-8 sessions on a weekly basis, though frequency and number of session depend on the severity of the problem. It is also not recommended to space sessions too close together, especially if the body is still bruised from a previous session. Allow the body to heal.

Cupping Therapy: The different types, which to go for and where?

Perhaps a cane to the back or a needle to the face are not at the top of your list of ways to relax, but don&#8217;t be so quick to skip on these massage therapies. Contrary to the more popular Swedish massages and Shiatsu techniques found in spas across the world, these lesser known massages might just offer the relief you need to power through the week.

Bamboo Massage 
In place of a pair of hands, this treatment uses bamboo sticks as massage tools to roll over sore muscular spots for a deeper, firmer massage pressure. Similar to the use of elbows in some techniques, hollow bamboo canes have long been used in China to knead the knotted muscles and release tension in the body.

Five Elements Massage 
A little more complex than just the typical muscle pain relief massage therapies, Five Elements Massage is a holistic technique that improves one&#8217;s mood and balances the body&#8217;s energies to realign with the person&#8217;s natural element (fire, wood, earth, metal or water). Though the Five Elements theory originates in China, cultures across Asia have translated this ancient concept into techniques of their own, such as the Balinese-inspired deep-tissue massage that uses a combination of gentle rocking,&nbsp;stretches and acupressure with weighted palms and gradual deep broad strokes on the body, hand, and feet to relieve muscle tension and help the body relax.

Tui Na Massage 
Tui Na is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine that uses the hands to press and bear down on the body&#8217;s pressure points in a rhythmic compression to channel the body&#8217;s energy, encouraging it to flow more freely. It sometimes incorporates methods of acupuncture, fire cupping, and qigong (an ancient healing technique) as well in order to loosen the joints and relieve pain. A complementary method to add to your much-needed healing experience is an abdominal detox massage Chi Nei Tsang which is meant to&nbsp;detoxify and energise the internal organs through a set of&nbsp;acupressure points around the navel to&nbsp;open the flow of energy plus blood and lymph circulation in the abdomen.

Stone-cold healing: Picking out the right healing crystals

Reiki, as many will be aware, is a multi-levelled healing therapy that benefits the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being of a person. This centuries-old Japanese practice is aimed at channelling the universe&#8217;s life force into the body of an object, animal or person to balance and retune its energy and stimulate its natural healing abilities. While some may scoff at reiki as being a pseudoscience, in fact, its practical applications can yield medical benefits. Take, for instance, a study published in Harvard Health, which revealed that people who underwent Reiki sessions before cardiac catheterization were observed by cardiologists as feeling more confident, relaxed and cooperative.&nbsp;

What is Reiki?
Often described as a healing therapy in which certified practitioners act as a medium between the universe&#8217;s life force and their patients, these experts can transmit healing energy through the palm of their hands. Each&nbsp;session typically runs between an hour to an hour and a half, with tingling sensations around the body seen as a common sign of the healing process, according to Balance Health Reiki practitioner, Forest Ng. The speed and effects of healing, though, varies from person to person depending on their energy level and condition, adds NPO Japan Reiki Association&#8217;s Master Teacher Satoe Sasaki and co-founder of and Master Teacher at Shakti Healing Centre, Stephen Clasper.&nbsp;

Healing the body
Reiki&#8217;s healing effects have been studied to be so efficacious that hospitals in the US have started adopting this non-invasive therapy as part of their holistic therapeutic services.&nbsp;A clinical study published in the US National Library of Medicine have also unveiled quantifiable healing effects across different areas of the body thanks to Reiki therapy, promoting such benefits as&nbsp;reduced heart rate and blood pressure.&nbsp;

Healing the mind
The same study also explains how Reiki increases the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system, which has been observed to contribute to reducing pain, anxiety, and depression, as well as improving self-esteem and quality of life. By utilising this metaphysical treatment, future issues as well as past problems can be resolved. As Reiki Master Corie Chu explains,&nbsp;“I’ve facilitated Reiki for future events including countless job interviews, weddings, invasive surgeries and pregnancy deliveries, and Reiki can also go back in time to heal past experiences.”

Healing from a distance
While most Reiki sessions happen in close proximity between practioner and patient, Reiki healing treatments can also be done remotely. By using Reiki symbols, practitioners are able to tune into the universe’s energy reserve to channel into their patients without the need for touch or physical presence, yet still deliver the same healing effects as a hands-on reiki session, says Ng. A study published in the Global Advances in Health and Medicine explains that clinical applications of Distance Healing Intentions (DHI) focus on shifting physiological measures rather than the outcomes of a cure, thus allowing healing effects of DHI therapies such as Reiki to be effective.&nbsp;

Side effects of Reiki
There is no recorded harm or risks presented by Reiki healing. Although this form of therapy can be done to any person of any background and age, the only downside, according to Ng, is that one might undergo a “healing crisis” — a temporary worsening of symptoms similar to a detox reaction. She says, “We consider a healing crisis a positive sign of the body that the healing is working.” For example, unusual tiredness is the body’s way of expressing that it needs to rest, while symptoms such as headaches, back pain and crying as a form of emotional release are all signs of the body releasing toxic energy and going through the process of healing.
