What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping is an ancient medical treatment that relies upon creating a local suction to mobilize blood flow in order to promote healing. A partial vaccum is created in cups placed on the skin either by means of heat or suction. This draws up the underlying tissues. When the cup is left in place on the skin for a few minutes, blood stasis is formed and localized healing takes place.
Cupping has also been found to affect the body up to four inches into the tissues, causing tissues to release toxins, activate the lymphatic system, clear colon blockages, help activate and clear the veins, arteries, and capillaries, activate the skin, clear stretch marks, and improve varicose veins. Cupping technique is safe, effective, and is the best deep tissue massage available.
Here are some of the conditions that can benefit from cupping:
- headache
