Cupping. Cupping is a technique used in conjunction with acupuncture or dry needling. Cupping pulls blood to a region to stimulate healing. It is effective at stretching tight fascia and muscles. Cupping helps the tissue develop new blood flow and causes anti-inflammatory chemicals in the body. Cupping is generally painless and many say is more effective than massage for muscle problems.
Category:Nitrogen-fixing crops. Plants that contribute to nitrogen fixation include the legume family â Fabaceae â with taxa such as clover, soybeans, alfalfa, lupins, peanuts, and rooibos. They contain symbiotic bacteria called Rhizobia within nodules in their root systems, producing nitrogen compounds that help the plant to grow and compete with other plants.
If you were sneaky like me during winter you may have thought to sow lupin and mustard in tidy rows next to slow growing brassicas like cabbage, kale and broccoli. The nitrogen fixing takes place while your brassica crops are growing which helps to grow decent heads rather than all leaves. A green manure crop is a perfect companion mix for those veggies; especially if you donât have the space to put your whole garden to bed over the colder months.
