Acupuncture literally means to puncture with a needle. However, the application of needles is often used in combination with moxibustion—the burning on or over the skin of selected herbs—and may also involve the application of other kinds of stimulation to certain points.

In cupping, suction cups are placed on the skin. This process sucks the skin into the cups, causing hyperaemia (strong circulation), as well as an extravasate (bloody fluid that has leaked from the vessel and is present in the tissue). Then the cups are moved around on the lubricated skin across certain areas. Through the reflex connections, cupping massage have a regulating and stimulating effect on the entire body and therefore a curative effect on some disease.
