Cupping is so much more than round marks on the back. In this episode, we explore cupping as one of the most versatile tools in Chinese medicine as I sit down with acupuncturist Sakina Di Pace, aka the Facial Cupping Expert.

Sakina shares how witnessing Bell’s palsy improve with acupuncture changed her career path—from economics to Chinese medicine. She explains how she began using silicone facial cups along cranial nerve pathways for Bell’s palsy and trigeminal neuralgia, later integrating them into cosmetic acupuncture for relaxation, lymphatic drainage, and skin health.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How facial cupping can support Bell’s palsy, trigeminal neuralgia, and cosmetic results

 • Sakina’s six-step facial cupping protocol and safety tips (especially around eyes and lips)

• The best oils to use (jojoba, rosehip, prickly pear) and how often to treat

• How to build an authentic online presence—and turn Instagram into a real business
