The acupuncturist inserts small solid needles into specific points in the body of the recipient to restore equilibrium. The Mayo Clinic states that acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain, but because acupuncture focuses on the overall well-being of a patient, it can assist in treating a long list of common and not so common issues a patient may encounter.

Cupping can be used to treat the lungs to clear congestion, promote circulation of the skin and veins, relieve constipation, and promote digestion. Cupping may leave marks on the area of the body treated and it may take days to weeks before they diminish. It is recommended that after Cupping that the patient not expose the area for 24 hours.
