In Traditional Chinese Medicine, cupping helps move stagnant Qi and Blood, release muscular tension and encourage healthy circulation through the meridians. It may also help expel Wind and Cold, leaving the body feeling lighter, freer and deeply relaxed

TCM Seasons - Witchy/ Woo Woo? ✨

During your session, glass cups are briefly warmed using a flame to create a vacuum before being safely placed onto the skin - the flame never touches you. The suction gently lifts the skin and underlying tissues, helping to increase local blood flow and release areas of tightness and stagnation.

Afterwards, you may notice the familiar circular cupping marks. These can range from light pink to deeper red or purple and usually fade naturally over several days. They aren’t bruises in the traditional sense, they’re caused by the suction drawing blood and fluid towards the surface of the tissues.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, fire cupping is used to help move Qi and Blood, dispel stagnation and open the channels. From a Western perspective, the mechanical suction affects the skin, fascia and superficial tissues and increases local blood flow.

Fire cupping can be incorporated into treatments for muscular tension, stiff shoulders, back discomfort, general aches and that feeling of being physically “stuck” or tight.

One clinic. So many different reasons for walking through the door.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we don’t simply treat the condition — we look at the individual, their symptoms, constitution and what their body is presenting on that particular day.

That’s why no two treatments at YU Integrative Health are exactly the same.

2026 — the year I chose to invest in knowledge.

These past 8 months have been incredible to reflect back on.

From being offered a new unit in January and having the opportunity to expand my business, to consciously choosing to invest more into my education, experiences and understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine - this year has taught me SO much.

I’ve tried new ventures and explored ideas that I genuinely thought I would love, only to realise they weren’t for me.. It’s a little like dating… sometimes you have to experience something to know whether it’s the right fit.

But every experience has taught me something.

I’ve put myself into rooms and spaces where I wasn’t always sure I would fit in, and those have often been the places where I’ve learnt the most. They’ve opened my eyes to just how far TCM can take me, the areas I want to explore more deeply and, ultimately, where I would love to specialise.

This year I’ve attended conferences, learnt from professors, researchers and practitioners from around the world, hosted wellness events, shared my own knowledge of TCM, explored auricular acupuncture in group settings and experienced new ways of bringing ancient medicine into modern healthcare and wellness.

One of my biggest highlights was attending my first human cadaver and acupuncture experience, allowing me to further deepen my understanding of anatomy and how it relates to acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

TCM has thousands of years of history behind it. I could/am dedicating my entire lifetime to studying the art and philosophy of TCM and still, I know I’ll never know everything.

My curiosity for knowledge is never-ending.

2026 so far has been about growth, investing in myself, finding my direction and understanding that I don’t need to have it all figured out.

There is always another teacher to learn from, another perspective to understand and another layer of this incredible medicine to discover.

And we’re only 8 months in…

Why do we use moxibustion for endometriosis?

Moxibustion is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapy that uses the gentle warmth of dried mugwort to heat specific acupuncture points.

From a Western perspective, the warmth may help improve local circulation, relax pelvic muscles, support blood flow, and reduce pain and cramping by encouraging the body’s natural healing response.

From a TCM perspective, endometriosis is often associated with Cold, Qi stagnation, and Blood stasis. Moxibustion warms the meridians and the uterus, dispels Cold, moves Qi and Blood, and supports Yang energy, helping to relieve pain, improve circulation, and restore balance within the body.

At YU Integrative Health, moxibustion is often combined with acupuncture to create a treatment plan tailored to your individual pattern and symptoms, because no two endometriosis journeys are the same.

Fire cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy used to warm the meridians, promote the smooth flow of Qi and Blood, dispel Wind, Cold and Damp, and encourage the body’s natural healing process. By creating gentle suction, it helps release muscular tension, improve circulation, and restore balance within the body.

At YU Integrative Health, no two treatments are ever the same. Every session begins with a thorough consultation where we assess your current presentation and discuss which modalities your body needs and why. Whether that’s acupuncture, fire cupping, moxibustion, electro-acupuncture, auricular therapy, or a combination of treatments, each appointment is individually tailored because your body can change from one visit to the next. We treat you, not just your symptoms

Special thank you to the clients who push me to make content 🫰🏼

Every treatment starts the same way: we listen first

We take time to understand what’s going on, observe how your body moves, and gently investigate the area hands-on, checking tissue, tension, and what might be driving the discomfort.

Throughout the session, we’re always checking in to make sure you feel comfortable, safe, and heard.
Then the needles go in..
�…and we give your body the space to do what it does best - reset, restore, balance and heal.
