Real Talk About the Benefits of Cupping Therapy with Dr. Tom Ingegno
My guest on The Expressive Mom Show is Dr. Tom Ingegno, DACM LAc. He is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, an integrative health specialist, and Charm City Integrative Health founder.
Futurist David Houle praised him as the “Future of Medicine.” With over 20 years of experience, he blends traditional and cutting-edge therapies to reduce inflammation and enhance well-being.
He has served as chair of the Maryland State Board of Acupuncture, adjunct professor, and Director of Acupuncture for wellness centers. A sought-after speaker, he has lectured at Johns Hopkins, the University of Maryland, and Walter Reed Hospital.
Beyond human care, he is a certified animal acupuncturist, treating rescue animals, including pit bulls from Michael Vick and a camel in Egypt. He authored You Got Sick—Now What? and has contributed to leading Oriental Medicine journals. His mission is to make health accessible and transformative for all.
We discuss the benefits of cupping as we discuss cupping therapy.
What Is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is a gentle, effective way to support children’s health by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and boosting the immune system.
It helps with common childhood ailments like colds, congestion, digestive issues, and muscle tension. Unlike medications, cupping is natural and non-invasive, making it a safe alternative for parents seeking holistic wellness for their children.
For kids, light or silicone cups are often used with gentle suction to avoid discomfort. Pediatric cupping can help clear mucus, improve sleep, and ease growing pains. Sessions are quick, relaxing, and well-tolerated when performed by a trained practitioner or a parent with proper guidance.
Parents can benefit from cupping too, using it to relieve stress, muscle tension, and chronic pain. It’s an excellent self-care tool that complements family wellness. Learning basic cupping techniques empowers parents to support their children’s health while enhancing their own well-being.
