Traditionally used with moxibustion in cold climates and for deficiency conditions.

In ancient China, moxa was considered medicine + ritual warmth, used to:

🎋 HERBAL DECOCTION BAMBOO CUPPING

Long before modern fire cupping became popular, herbal bamboo cupping was already part of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

More commonly practiced in the mountainous regions of Southwest China, bamboo cups are traditionally simmered in a hot, rich herbal decoction before treatment.

As the bamboo absorbs the warmth and herbal infusion, each cup carries the essence of the medicinal plants before being placed on the body. 🌿

When hot bamboo cups gradually cool, the air inside contracts, creating a strong natural vacuum and gentle suction.

The result is a unique combination of heat, herbal therapy, and cupping that can feel deeply relaxing and warming—especially for a sore, tired, and tense body. A traditional technique with a very different sensation from conventional fire cupping.

What do you think? Would you try Herbal Bamboo Cupping?

Love cupping but don’t want the marks?
Try Gradual Cupping Decompression!

We use a special system called Spider, allowing us to attach up to 20 cups to our vacuum decompression machine.

It’s a cupping technique where suction is gently increased and decreased — creating a soft, rhythmic effect without leaving marks on the skin.

Why it matters:
– Improves blood circulation without shocking the body
– Releases deep muscle tension step by step
– Reduces cellulite and restores lymphatic flow
– Relieves stress and promotes better sleep
– Speeds up recovery for athletes
– Great for people with muscle pain, tension, or postural issues
– Helps with stiff neck, shoulders, and back discomfort
– Supports detoxification and overall wellness

Gentle, precise, and effective — your body will thank you!

Bian stone was used in ancient China to help alleviate back and neck pain due to its healing properties. Research suggests that Bian stone emits ultrasound pulsations, far-infrared rays, and negative ions, all of which are associated with antioxidant and anti-aging effects on our cells and DNA.

It contains more than 40 minerals that support overall health. When heated, Bian stone has been shown to facilitate energy circulation and stimulate blood flow in the body, promoting vitality and improved circulation.

Tests measuring far-infrared radiance found that Bian stone emits strongly in the 8–14 μm wavelength range, with a vertical emittance of up to 0.923—demonstrating excellent thermal emission performance.

In simple terms, Bian stone is believed to channel meridians, stimulate blood activity, disperse stasis, and regulate circulation in the body, thanks largely to its strong far-infrared emission capability.
