Cupping is a traditional therapeutic technique widely used in Chinese medicine for centuries. It involves placing vacuum-sealed cups on the skin to create suction, stimulating the circulation of blood and energy (Qi) to targeted areas in need of healing. This method is effective in reducing waste build-up, relaxing muscles, and alleviating pain and inflammation.
How Cupping Therapy Works
During a cupping session, a vacuum is created in the cup either by briefly applying heat or using a suction device, generating a gentle pull on the skin. This suction draws blood and other fluids to the surface, promoting cellular repair and relieving muscle tension and inflammation.
Who Can Benefit from Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is ideal for individuals experiencing muscle pain, backaches, shoulder pain, joint pain, and fatigue from work or physical strain. It is also beneficial for those with chronic or acute pain, as well as for boosting blood circulation, balancing internal energy, and aiding in stress recovery.
