Over the past 20 years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has become more popular and widely used. Today acupuncture, cupping, herbs, and massages are all different types of TCM that are regularly used to reduce stress but are also commonly used for different treatments. With the wide variety of issues TCM can help treat, it has grown more and more making its way into the American health system.
Why I chose this topic
Why I chose this topic
I chose the topic of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) because when I was growing up I would see some of the Luther College softball players have cupping done to their backs after games. This really interested me because I didn't know anything that was happening to them or why they would choose to do that to their bodies. I have always had more questions than answers when it came to cupping and when I started to research the topic for this class I went into a loophole of acupuncture and other TCM treatments and what they can do for the body.
