SCIENCE BEHIND COSMO
At Cosmo, we believe wellness should feel intuitive and informed. Our tools are inspired by time-honored healing methods and validated by modern research. This page is your gateway to understanding the deeper science behind gua sha, cupping, fascia, meridians, and how our products blend ancient wisdom with next-generation technology.
Meridians & Fascia: A Unified Anatomy
Do Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) meridians actually exist in the body? Emerging research shows that meridian maps may align with your connective tissue — the fascia. Learn how fascia and meridian lines mirror each other, and why this could be the missing link between ancient healing and modern science.
Key topics covered:
- The role of fascia in full-body connectivity
- Myofascial meridian lines vs. TCM meridians
- Scientific evidence from Langevin (2002), Bai (2011), and Wilke (2016)
How Cupping and Gua Sha Work on Fascia & Meridians
Cupping and gua sha aren't just ancient rituals — they're manual techniques that stimulate fascia, unblock meridian pathways, and trigger full-body healing responses. Backed by modern research, these therapies improve microcirculation, reduce inflammation, and restore glide to stuck connective tissue.
Key topics covered:
- The role of negative pressure on fascia
- How gua sha improves microcirculation (Nielsen, 2007)
- Evidence of meridian-fascia alignment (Langevin, 2002)
