Question
What are the meridians on the chest where you do cupping? If they are red what does that mean.

Answer
Hi John,
The Urinary Bladder channel on the back is good for cupping.  The upper back is good for asthma.  The front channels are stomach and kidney and spleen.  I don't do as much front cupping.  The redness is called petechiae.  It is micro vascular damage (little arterioles break open causing a hickey).  It wakes up the Immune system, increases the circulation and blow flow to the area and stimulates the Channels and points.  All very good things for you.

I hope this helps
Regards,
Heather Vandeburg LAc MSOM
