What is it?
Cupping is a natural treatment that uses special cups to create a suction effect on the skin, stimulating blood circulation, removing toxins, and relaxing muscles. This method has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine and continues to be a popular treatment for reducing pain, improving circulation, and eliminating accumulated tension.
The cups are placed on various areas of the body, such as the back, neck, arms, and legs, and create a vacuum that helps increase blood and lymph flow. This technique helps the body heal faster and release tension and energy blockages.
How does Cupping Therapy work?
- The cups are placed on the skin and create a suction effect that increases blood circulation and oxygenation of cells.
- This helps to remove toxins and improve the functioning of muscles and internal organs.
- The session may include statically placed cups or the technique of moving the cups over the skin, for a deep massage effect.
- After the treatment, red or purple marks may appear on the skin, which are a sign of increased blood circulation and disappear after a few days.
