Remember when Gwyneth made big welts trendy? Many were confused at first, but when they learned she had showed up to a NYC movie premiere after a cupping session, those black and blue circles caught on faster than the spread of skinny jeans.
Chinese medicine is rapidly becoming more and more accepted in our modern-day society. Cupping, herbs and even acupuncture, are being used to cure every aliment from acne to depression.

Well, not necessarily. We spoke with Lia Andrews to get the low down on acupuncture and from what we learned there is definitely some truth behind the phrase "nature's medicine."
