Cupping Resources:

Some websites with information on cupping:

Health Traditions in Australia, the website of Bruce Bentley, and possibly the best cupping info on the web. There’s a fantastic essay/interview in the cupping section.

Inner Balance Health in Vancouver, BC. Great source of information. They used to have a storefront in Vancouver’s Chinatown that was a blast to poke around in. Alas, it is now internet order only.

And for all of your cupping supplies:

Wing Ming Herbs  They carry size 5 cups, and usually stock some really sweet glass cups of all sizes. They also have a pretty wide assortment of gua sha tools, herbs, patent formulas…and the staff is great. Sadly, they’re in Portland (82nd & Division), and don’t have a Eugene branch.

CAI Corporation   If you can’t get to Portland and need to get some cups, CAI has some nice cups. Of course, it is really nice to be able to pick them out in person.
