In Singapore’s hot and humid climate, cupping therapy—a traditional treatment for dispelling dampness, unblocking meridians, and relieving fatigue—is increasingly favored by younger generations.
Singapore Gong Fang Tang TCM integrates ancient cupping techniques with modern medical understanding. Their team of experienced TCM practitioners provides personalized treatments, helping numerous patients overcome muscle stiffness and poor Qi-blood circulation.
Principles and Benefits of Cupping
Cupping uses suction on the skin’s surface to stimulate meridians and acupoints, achieving the following effects:
Unblocks Meridians: Improves Qi-blood stagnation, alleviating soreness in shoulders, neck, back, and waist.
Expels Dampness & Toxins: Targets Singapore’s climate by removing internal dampness and reducing fatigue.
Balances Yin-Yang: Regulates organ function, especially beneficial for suboptimal health states.
At Gong Fang Tang, cupping is combined with modern constitutional analysis to customize treatments. For example:
Dampness-heavy constitutions receive sliding cupping with herbal baths.
Blood-stasis constitutions undergo targeted bleeding cupping to remove stasis.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Precise Diagnosis & Innovative Techniques
Quick Cupping: Rapid suction/release for sensitive skin or first-time clients.
Stationary Cupping: Fixed suction (5–15 mins) for deep Qi-blood regulation.
Sliding Cupping: Gliding along meridians with herbal oils to relieve muscle adhesions.
Bleeding Cupping: Pricking with a three-edged needle before suction for stubborn pain, acne, or shingles (toxic-heat excess).
Example: Desk workers with "Qi stagnation and blood stasis" focus on unblocking the Bladder Meridian.
Example: Sports injuries combine cupping with electroacupuncture (using Western imaging reports) to promote tissue repair.
Diagnostic process: Tongue/pulse diagnosis and constitutional assessment before cupping identify root causes.
