Description

Cupping therapy is a traditional healing practice that involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. This suction is believed to help improve circulation, relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation. Cupping has been used for thousands of years in various cultures, including ancient Chinese, Egyptian, and Middle Eastern medicine. There are a few different types of cupping therapy: Dry Cupping: This involves creating a vacuum inside the cups, typically using a pump or heat. The suction pulls the skin upward into the cup. Wet Cupping: This is a more invasive form of cupping that involves making small incisions on the skin before applying the cups. Blood is drawn out, and the idea is that this helps remove toxins from the body. Massage Cupping: In this variation, the cups are moved around on the skin while suction is applied. It's often used for muscle tension relief and relaxation. Cupping therapy is commonly used to treat muscle pain, back pain, headaches, and respiratory issues. Some people may experience bruising or skin discoloration where the cups were placed, which typically fades after a few days.
