An inexpensive leg and foot massage costs about $4 per hour (2011). Fire cupping is a great 20 minute procedure  and only costs $5.

Thank you for feeling comfortable enough to share this story with us. Maintenance is definitely appropriate! I wish there was an understanding of that in western countries. Most people want a quick fix and then no return visit to the doctor. We should have ongoing communication with our doctors… sadly, it’s often thought of as a costly burden. ]]> http://asianliving.me/baguan-guasha/comment-page-1#comment-223 Sun, 29 May 2011 09:08:00 +0000 http://asianliving.me/?p=1368#comment-223 I was skeptical about ba guan and acupuncture until I suffered a serious accident when I fell from my horse after she bolted(I was traveling at a full gallop speed when I fell). Unfortunately I partially dialocated my hip, broke a bunch ribs and 3 vertebra- among a heap of other injuries. I was left with a bad limp which my western drs said would prob remain for life along with partial paralysis and numbness of my whole left leg and half back and their solution to the pain and bad nerve damage I suffered was to try pump me full of pain Meds. I started going to a local Chinese medicine dr who did a course of acupuncture and ba guan. Long story short. 6 mths later I have fully restored nerve function and no limp and no more numbness or paralysis. I also don’t require any pain meds. I go back for ‘maintenance’ every mth or whenever I’m feeling sore. ]]> http://asianliving.me/baguan-guasha/comment-page-1#comment-207 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 09:14:00 +0000 http://asianliving.me/?p=1368#comment-207 So the Karate Kid has big circles on his back too? ^^ It definitely helps during my mini-sickness times. Recovery time is shorter after doing it! ]]> http://asianliving.me/baguan-guasha/comment-page-1#comment-206 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 02:08:50 +0000 http://asianliving.me/?p=1368#comment-206 I think Ba Guan is gaining wider popularity with the success of the film “The Karate Kid” featuring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith. I’ve never tried Ba Guan before, used to think it was something only old people would do. But now I can see more and more of my friends who are in their 20s getting Ba Guan, and I am thinking maybe it’s a very good way to release pressure and combat computer-related illness and discomfort. Should definitely try it someday. ]]>
