• Commentary on cupping marks (pic):
From top left going clockwise:
1. Mottled: blood stasis associated with Qi deficiency (paleness).
2. Conical elevation with white peak: cold damp/phlegm (depending if soft or hard)
3. Blood stagnation with elevated black clots and swelling (indicating severe pain)
4. Swollen with mild stagnation (blockage of fluids and heat accumulation)
5. Small red dotting indicates the release of sha (heat toxins).
6. Coldness with an epicentre of strong deficiency
7. Dark blockage of painful blood stagnation (possibly caused by wind blockage) with accompanying sha
8. Long term trauma throughout the shoulder (with long term immobility and pain).
