Cupping
Cupping is done by heating the inside of each cup, typically with an alcohol-soaked cotton ball that is set aflame. The heat sends oxygen out of the cup and creates a minor vacuum. Quick placement of the cups onto the skin draws blood and Qi circulation into the treated area, stimulating the natural healing process. People seek cupping for a variety of reasons, such as alleviating pain and tension, reducing inflammation, promoting relaxation, and enhancing overall well-being.
How It Works
Cupping therapy, an old TCM practice, uses suction cups to generate a vacuum on the skin. This technique lifts the skin and tissues, increasing blood flow, relaxing muscles, and aiding the body’s healing.
People often combine the treatment with acupuncture or use it alone. It relieves pain and improves health safely and non-invasively.
