Cupping therapy
Cupping therapy is a traditional healing practice that involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. This suction draws blood closer to the surface, which increases circulation, reduces muscle tension, and supports the body’s natural healing process. Cupping has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese, Middle Eastern, and other holistic medicine systems.
How It Works
- Cups (usually made of glass, silicone, or plastic) are placed on specific areas of the body.
- A vacuum effect is created either by heat (fire cupping) or mechanical suction.
- The scraping motion stimulates microcirculation, encouraging better blood and oxygen flow in the targeted area.
- The suction gently pulls the skin and muscle tissue upward.
- This process stimulates blood flow, loosens tight muscles, and promotes deep tissue healing.
