From the reviews
Dr. Lana is intuitive and attentive and has helped us address issues that come up quickly, seamlessly, and with her amazing wealth of knowledge. Our whole family has been helped with injuries, stress, and sickness. She is a master with acupuncture, cupping, and herbs. Also I love the ambience at her current location.
I recently took a cupping class/training with Dr. Lana. They say when a student is ready. A teacher appears. I was looking around for weeks for a teacher who I can connect with and learn from. Looking at so many different websites. I finally stumbled upon MedVed (Dr.
The MedVed Clinic provides a well-assorted establishment of Chinese herbs and Asian and Eastern European modalities. Dr. Lana and Katerina are excellent in providing safety, sharing knowledge, and guaranteeing relaxation. An appointment is much appreciated. I attended a fire cupping and machine cupping training.
I drive long distances regularly and have been dealing with constant neck and lower back pain for years. But MedVed Clinic truly saved me! Kat McCreary is the best massage therapist I’ve ever been to. The deep tissue myofascial release work made my tension and pain go away within one day. ONE DAY!
Booking hijama (wet cupping) at MEDVED CLINIC OF EASTERN MEDICINE AND BODYWORK Acupuncture/ Massage/ Deep Tissue Release/ Hijama/ Cupping/ Herbal Pharmacy
MEDVED CLINIC OF EASTERN MEDICINE AND BODYWORK Acupuncture/ Massage/ Deep Tissue Release/ Hijama/ Cupping/ Herbal Pharmacy 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.
