It seems that (rather unintentionally) at the beginning of each year, I begin with some episodes on some interesting and novel topics. Two years ago it was reviewing a book on extensive and profound research from the late 1800s to mid-1900s on how light entering our eyes affects virtually every system in our body. Last year, we took a deep dive into the world of grounding (aka, earthing) and its many wonderful and electron-rich benefits. To begin this year, I want to introduce you all into the world of cupping.
Some of you are likely familiar with cupping and may even be using it on yourself and/or clients/patients. Personally, I found it to be an indispensable tool with my patients and on myself, particularly in combination with dry needling and red light therapy. But it seems that it is still a highly underutilized tool, both by practitioners and the public alike. Perhaps some of that comes from its heavily holistic background that may give it an aura of being mystical. Others may think that it's a therapy you need to be certified in and/or heavily educated in. But I am hear to tell you that it is exceptionally similar to red light therapy in that it is extremely safe and a "very low risk, high reward" modality.
In this episode, we will cover all aspects of cupping -- from its history to how it became popular to what it can help with to how it can be used and even how combining it with red light therapy may give you the best of both worlds. Any and all athletes/exercise enthusiasts MUST be including this in their performance and recovery regimen and, equally importantly, anyone and everyone can attain profound health and wellness benefits by cupping on a regular basis.
Listen to the end to hear about BioLight's newest product and how it seamlessly combines the advantages of the negative pressure vacuum mechanism of cupping and the mitochondrial-boosting properties of red light therapy into one simple and sleek modality. It's simply a game changer for athletes and health enthusiasts alike!
As always, light up (and, now, cup) your health!
