From the reviews
IIve been going to this place for a years and never felt disappointed! I have an autoimmune disease and cant do much on treat, so acupuncture very helpful even during my pregnancy i still been doing treat! Very nice and clean. During “sick season” i am getting cupping +acupuncture combo and it is just boost ur system!
I have a phobia of needles. So it took me a long time and courage to actually try Acupuncture. Brigitta did wonders on me! She is absolutely phenomenal when it comes to making you feel comfortable on what she do.
I received amazing care from Brigitta!! Was experiencing neck pain so decided to give acupuncture & cupping a go!! The acupuncture was painless & I had a much needed little nap on the table while enjoying the first relief I'd had in days. I pretty much have become addicted to the cupping.
About two years ago I discovered the benefits of acupuncture and cupping. When we moved to Ohio my husband found 12 Meridians for me and I couldn’t be happier. Brigitta is friendly and warm, and her technique is impeccable. I love the warming table and calming music.
Booking hijama (wet cupping) at 12 Meridians Acupuncture
12 Meridians Acupuncture comes up as a provider that offers hijama — wet cupping, where the skin is lightly punctured after suction so a small amount of blood is drawn. If you're booking hijama specifically, a few things are worth asking before you go. First, sterility is everything — a reputable practitioner uses a fresh, single-use kit (new blades and cups) for every client and follows clean, gloved technique. It's completely fair to ask how they handle this. Second, many people booking hijama want a same-gender practitioner — ask whether that can be arranged. Third, ask about aftercare and whether they observe particular days if that matters to you.
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
