Join Debra Diers on November 12 from 1-4pm to learn about traditional therapeutic cupping and how you can apply it to your own life and health-related needs. The afternoon event will be held at Acupuncture Healing of Connecticut in Norwalk. Diers, a licensed acupuncturist and registered nurse, has been in private practice for 25 years in Glastonbury.

Cupping has been used for centuries by almost every culture to help heal, rejuvenate and invigorate. Passed down through generations by grandmothers and folk healers, cupping has played an important role in self-care in many settings. Learn how to help alleviate everyday aches and pains, relax and loosen stiff muscles, and invigorate blood flow and synovial fluids in painful joints. Learn how to get rid of a cold in the early stages, and help alleviate menstrual cramps, carpal tunnel and tendonitis. You will learn the correct techniques for application, when and where to cup, and when, where and who not to cup. There will be demonstrations as well as opportunity for hands on cupping so you can experience it for yourself.

The event is $49 per person. Seating is limited.
