MODULE 6
Application of Cups
Moreno Method of Cupping Therapy
Handling Techniques
“
The Moreno Method of Cupping is aware of the importance of the
various methods of manipulating the energy points of the body. Of
course, there are other techniques that will not be employed in this
course due to training, experience, supplies, and liability.
”
One cup - this technique uses a single cup which is applied where
the energy point , pain or area of concern is located. The size of the
cup will be determined by the extent of the pathogen to treat. For
example, in sprains, bruised areas, painful points, elbow pain or for
an opening and drainage of abscesses, etc.
Multiple Cups - this technique is used with several cups. You
will usually use a pathogen which covers an extensive area of
the body or to its application in several points of agreement the
pathogen in question. Its number can vary from 2 to 10 cups.
There should be distance of 3 to 7 cm between the cups.
// Page 60
Moreno Method of Cupping Therapy
Fixed Cup – With this technique the cup should remain in the selected
area for 5 to 20 minutes. The cup should be monitored when applied
during the summer season or in an area with very thin muscle.
Periodically, this technique may require application until the skin color
changes. If it becomes purple, the application has extended it’s time.
Caution must be exercised to be certain that the skin does not break or
blister. This technique can be used in the healing of the majority of the
diseases.
Moving Cup – This is the preferred method for the Moreno Method. It’s
use requires the application of a lubricant in order to achieve the
smooth gliding of the cup. Pressure may be applied. Cups made of
crystal, with a large mouth, thick wall and smooth edges may be used.
This method is preferred on the back, chest , waist, abdomen,
buttocks, thighs, and developed muscles and too, in cases of
diminished sensibility, paralysis, joint pain, muscular degeneration,
arthritis, etc.
Two hands can be used to increase the pressure and too, ease the
gliding of the cup.
When working over the heart and sternum, be careful not to pull the
cup to release. Slide a finger between the cup and the client to release
the pressure.
// Page 61
Moreno Method of Cupping Therapy
Acupressure Cup - this procedure makes use of acupressure on the
point by using pressure and circular massage on the pressure point
for a period of time, either by hand or with your finger. Afterwards, the
cup is applied to area(s). The two techniques are applied to increase
the stimulation. Clinically, this method is used for acute cases, intense
pain, traumatized tissues, sprains, etc.
Some illnesses wil
l recommend the
use of Hijama(Bloo
dletting )
cupping style.
However, the More
no Method
suggests the use o
f acupressure
and fixed cupping
for such
illnesses.

Hiccups happen when a spasm contracts the diaphragm. This spasm causes an
intake of breath that is suddenly stopped by the closure of the vocal cords
(glottis). This disorder is caused in most of the times by pathogenic cold,
stagnation of food, stagnation of energy, cold energy of spleen and stomach and
deficiency of the original energy caused by severe diseases and chronic
diseases. This symptom may present in problems of the stomach, intestines,
gallbladder, stomach, esophagus or diaphragm.

Flatulence
When we ingest food, small amounts of air enter the body. Yet, when we digest
food, gas, mainly in the form of hydrogen, methane and carbon dioxide is released.
As the gas builds up, the body gets rid of it by either burping (belching) or flatulence
(farting). Often, flatulence occurs and the person is not aware that it is happening.
When there is a smell, there are usually small amounts of sulfur gases due to food
not being digested properly. The food starts to rot and releases sulfur. Excessive
flatulence is a sign of a spleen deficiency, stomach deficiency and stagnation of
energy.

Pink eye (conjunctivitis) is an inflammation or infection of the transparent

Infantile anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that has its onset during the early
developmental stage of separation and individuation between the ages of six months
and three years. According to Chinese medicine, it presents from 1 to 6 years. Infantile
anorexia nervosa is characterized by food refusal and leads to failure to thrive. The
infant refuses to eat in an attempt to achieve autonomy and control with regard to the
mother, a maneuver that serves to involve the mother more deeply in the infant's
eating behavior and to meet the infant's need for attention. The cause is weakened
energy in the intestine and stomach due to inadequate nutrition that causes damage to
the stomach and intestine.

Heat stroke
Heat stroke can kill or cause damage to the brain and other internal organs. Although
heat stroke mainly affects people over age 50, it also takes a toll on healthy young
athletes. Heat stroke results from prolonged exposure to high temperatures -- usually
in combination with dehydration -- which leads to failure of the body's temperature
control system. The medical definition of heat stroke is a core body temperature
greater than 105 degrees Fahrenheit, with complications involving the central nervous
system that occur after exposure to high temperatures. Other common symptoms
include nausea, seizures, confusion, disorientation, and sometimes loss of
consciousness or coma. Moving: Glide cup over points

Uterine Prolapse
Uterine prolapse is falling
or sliding of the uterus
from its normal position
into the vaginal area. The
muscles and ligaments
weaken and cannot hold
the uterus in the pelvis and
it drops into the vaginal
canal. Lack of estrogen,
pelvic tumor, obesity,
normal aging and excessive
coughing can contribute to
a prolapse. Symptoms
include low backache,
repeated bladder
infections, heaviness in
pelvis, frequent urination
and painful intercourse.
Fixed: After applying
acupressure for one minute,
apply cups to points for 15
to 20 minutes.
