Cupping helping with Chronic Fatigue

Chronic fatigue is characterised by DEBILITATING fatigue that is NOT RELIEVED with rest and is associated with physical symptoms


Chronic fatigue lasts longer than 6 months and is associated with the following

  1. postexertional malaise (getting tired after doing activities)

  2. unrefreshing sleep

  3. impaired memory

  4. lacking concentration

  5. muscle pain

  6. polyarthralgia (pain in multiple joints)

  7. sore throat

  8. tender lymph nodes

  9. new headaches

- side note, for a diagnosis, you need at least 4 of these



Participants in the 2020 study were given 5 cupping sessions and 10 sessions


The 10 session groups had superior results compared to the 5 sessions


When people received 5 sessions with high pressure, it showed BETTER improvement in fatigue symptoms and sleep conditions


- a little side note here, I've had many patients with chronic fatigue and it's definitely something you have to try and different pressures as sometimes with an acute attack it can be quite a lot for the body to cope with, so don't overdo it with the pressure always.


Overall, cupping therapy improved fatigue, emotion, and sleep
