It’s the idea that we invest in staying healthy, right. You know, some people get it, right. I don’t eat this, or I, you know, this is my diet, or I go to the gym regularly, but they’re still missing pieces

Dr. Tom Ingegno  20:13

the idea is we’re treating the body almost like we’re creating an artificial pump, right? How strong can we get everything to constrict and then dilate and constrict, again, to kind of pump in and out fresh blood and stagnant blood for that.

cupping is creating a vacuum and sucking the skin up into that vacuum. And what we see happening is we create a space between the skin the fascia, the fascia, and the muscle, and any stagnation, any lactic acid buildup, any metabolic waste that’s in that tissue gets drawn into this space that’s created and our body has a better time cleaning that up.

Welcome to the Healers Café. And today I’m with Dr. Tom Ingegno. And he is a doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. He also has experience with integrative and functional medicine, and he’s been a big contributor to prestigious schools for East Asian medicine to really expand the scope of practice of acupuncture, with his role as chairman of the Maryland State Board of acupuncture. But I don’t want to go on to too much. You’ve got books and things on cupping and things we will definitely discuss. But why don’t we just start with what brought you into Chinese medicine and what got you attracted to that whole field to begin with?

And I used to help out in the pharmacy as a teenager. And he was counting out pills. And back in the day, you didn’t have machines doing it by hand. And he’s counting them out on a tray.

And he looked at me and he said, There’s got to be a better way, and hopefully you find it. And that kind of got buried somewhere in the back of my head, I thought I was going to be an MD. You know, I think a lot of us that come into, I don’t even want to call it alternative, but nonmainstream medicine. Think that, you know, MD nurse, something like that as the only path. And when I got to college, and I started looking around, I saw some very interesting things. And I took a Chinese philosophy class, and it was like, Wow, I like this concept of balance. And as I learned more and more, I really got intrigued by acupuncture and the theory that involves all East Asian medicine.
