Cupping Therapy

Introduction

Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice rooted in traditional Chinese and Middle Eastern medicine. This technique involves placing cups on the skin to create suction, which helps to improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation. It has gained popularity as a complementary therapy for physical and emotional well-being.

How Does It Work?

  1. Preparation: The skin is cleaned, and the therapist may apply oil to allow the cups to glide smoothly.
  2. Application: Cups made of glass, silicone, or plastic are placed on specific areas of the body. Suction is created using heat or a mechanical pump.
  3. Duration: The cups remain in place for 5-20 minutes, depending on the treatment plan.
  4. Types of Cupping:
    • Dry Cupping: Focuses on suction only.
    • Wet Cupping: Involves mild skin incisions to remove a small amount of blood, believed to release toxins.
