Cupping and moxibustion are traditional supportive therapies used in TCM. They may be discussed alongside acupuncture, herbal medicine and lifestyle advice after consultation.

Cupping creates suction on the skin through specialised cups. In TCM terms, it is used to support blood flow beneath the cup, relax muscles and assist with stagnation.
Moxibustion uses burning dried mugwort, known as moxa, close to selected acupuncture points. Warmth, circulation and Qi flow are central to how the treatment is explained.
Joint and muscle pain, digestive disorders, menstrual health, fertility support, fatigue and immune support can be discussed when moxibustion is suitable.
Indirect moxibustion, direct moxibustion with a protective barrier and moxa stick warming allow different levels of warmth.
Moxibustion may be used on its own or alongside acupuncture when the practitioner considers it suitable.
