Any mummies have experience to share TCM such as acupuncture and cupping while breastfeeding? Did it affect milk supply?

I did cupping and acupuncture and it did not affect my supply. Cupping helps to relieve the tiredness and was told my the tcm, it's help the blood to circulate better which I'm not sure is it true but I enjoy doing cupping.
