Cupping is an ancient therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction and is believed to promote healing. The Cupping Book by Dr. Tom Ingegno, DACM, LAC explores this practice, offering instructions, benefits, and insights for safe and effective cupping. It aims to educate readers on how to use cupping for improved health and wellness. 

The book covers everything from the history and benefits of cupping to practical techniques for performing it at home. It was a journey through the world of cupping, learning about its origins in traditional Chinese medicine and its modern applications in integrative and functional medicine. The author explains how cupping works to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote overall wellness. In this book, I discovered different cupping techniques, including static cupping, sliding cupping, and fire cupping, and how each method can be used to address various health concerns, from pain relief to stress reduction. But just when I thought that I had learned all there is to know about cupping, the author left me hanging with a tantalizing question: What secrets do the colors of cupping marks hold? As I eagerly awaited the answer, I was intrigued by the potential deeper meanings behind these marks and how they could unlock new insights into our health and well-being.
 
The author's writing style can be described as clear, straightforward, and conversational. He avoids jargon and complex language, ensuring that even readers unfamiliar with cupping therapy can easily understand the concepts and techniques discussed in the book. By using simple English, the author effectively communicates complex ideas without overwhelming the reader. By empowering readers to perform cupping therapy at home, the book helps democratize healthcare, giving individuals more control over their own well-being without the need for expensive treatments or appointments. I didn’t find any errors while reading, as the book was flawlessly edited.  

Despite the author's efforts to simplify complex concepts, some readers may still struggle to grasp certain aspects of cupping therapy, particularly if they are unfamiliar with traditional Chinese medicine or holistic healing practices. The book may require multiple readings or additional research to fully understand some of the more advanced topics discussed.

This is the challenge that one could encounter in the book, and it doesn’t reduce the quality of this book. Hence, I would rate this book five out of five stars for its overall quality. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in boosting their health.
