From the reviews

The depth of Anne and Adam’s clinical practice is something special. I am quite cautious about whose care I am under, and these two have served as my acupuncturists for the past few years.

I highly recommend Ritual Health Acupuncture and Herbalism to anyone in need of healing. Dr. Adam is a top-notch clinician and healer who has extensive background in training for both Chinese Medicine and Tibetan Medicine. Best of all, he is extremely compassionate, communicative, and caring for all of his patients.

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.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
