The TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) originated in China some 2000 years ago — it is a mix of herbal treatment practices and the belief that the energy flow of “qi” must be intact in order to have a healthy body and mind. Acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping are the tools TCM practitioners use to make the “qi” flow the way it should. These three treatments are believed to help with things ranging from autoimmune diseases to simple headaches. Cupping is widely used by athletes around the world. Swimmer Michael Phelps used it during the 2016 Olympics in Brazil.
