3 Reasons to Get Dad an Acupuncture Session for Father’s Day

3 Reasons to Get Dad an Acupuncture Session for Father’s Day June 10, 2016

Deer Park, Babylon

Father’s Day is right around the corner, and that means it’s time to start thinking about what to get Dad this year. Giving him an acupuncture session is a great way to show how much you care because it means you’re thinking about his well-being. At Lifetime Acupuncture in Deer Park, NY, they practice Chinese medicine and provide cupping therapy, stress therapy, and acupuncture.

Here are three ways Dad will benefit from visiting an acupuncturist:

  • Reduces Stress: When performed correctly, acupuncture stimulates the production of endorphins, a feel-good hormone that lowers stress levels. Parents have a lot to stress about; help your dad relax by sending him to Lifetime Acupuncture. Because of its relaxing effects, acupuncture also leads to better sleep quality, which leads to an overall better quality of life.
  • Assists Weight Management: Researchers have conducted various studies and found that, though acupuncture alone might not be enough to help people lose weight, it increases the effects of eating well and exercising regularly. Studies have shown that it also helps to soothe heartburn. Since it gets progressively harder to keep weight off as we age, getting Dad an acupuncture session to boost his efforts is a great way to show your support.
  • Strengthens Immune System: A study originally published in Evidence Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine found that acupuncture increases the body’s production of certain immune cells that ward off cancer. That means the effects of acupuncture are beneficial long after the session itself has ended. It truly is the gift that keeps on giving!

If you want to show Dad just how much you care this year, get him an acupuncture session from Lifetime Acupuncture in Deer Park, NY. Check out our website to learn more about the various Chinese medicine procedures they offer, and call (631) 392-1224 to talk to an acupuncturist today.

Cupping Therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine

How Cupping Therapy Works

Cupping therapy creates suction in certain areas of the body. This suction causes negative pressure, which draws the skin away from the body. Traditional medicine experts state that this causes muscle tissue to loosen, increases blood flow and has a sedative effect on the nervous system. Experts believe cupping therapy can affect tissue as deep as four inches from the skin, making it an ideal option when a malady calls for deep-tissue treatment.

During a cupping treatment, the practitioner leaves the cups in place for up to 10 minutes, depending on the area of the body and the type of cupping. This allows time for the suction to work, and gives the recipient time to relax and enjoy the sensation of negative pressure.

 

Equipment Used in Cupping Therapy

While acupuncture calls for acupuncture needles, the thought of which may make you queasy, cupping therapy does not involve breaking the skin. In fact, most people who have tried cupping therapy say it is not painful at all. Cupping therapy involves the use of small cups or jars. In traditional cupping therapy, these cups are glass, bamboo, or pottery. Do-it-yourself cupping sets sometimes include glass cups, although plastic and silicone are much more common materials. Typically, cupping therapy sets include cups in several different sizes as well as two or more cups of the same size so you can use more than one at the same time.

What are the conditions Cupping Therapy can be used for?

 

Cupping therapy is applied on different areas of the body to treat a variety of conditions such as :

  • cough, common cold
  • chronic fatigue
  • detoxification
  • sport/auto injuries
  • orthopedic condition
  • neuro muscular dysfunction
  • asthma (Both Adult and Children)
