It provides a clear and detailed set of practical guidelines to applying this technique for various common conditions, and looks closely at issues of safety, expectation and theoretical principles of action.

Customer Reviews from goodreads.com:

I love this book. The info covers many aspects of cupping, not just those with Chinese medicine applications. It's good to see cupping and trigger points as a chapter onto itself. Cupping is a relatively painless way to release those naughty knots.
