Cupping is a fascinating technique that’s been used for centuries and involves suctioning the skin with plastic, silicone or glass cups. Despite the number of years, it’s been in widespread use, little research has been done on cupping, but many patients and acupuncturists believe it may help to increase blood flow, reduce pain, and even boost immune function.

Indigestion is the discomfort you feel after eating and often takes the form of a burning sensation located in the upper abdomen. Also known as dyspepsia, indigestion may be accompanied by bloating, belching, and when cases are bad enough, patients sometimes experience nausea and vomiting.
