Historical Background: Cupping has roots in ancient medical traditions, found in both Eastern and Western cultures.
Method: Cups (glass, bamboo, or silicone) are placed on the skin, creating suction that lifts the skin slightly. This suction increases blood and lymph circulation in the area.
Therapeutic Effects: It’s known for relieving muscle tension, improving circulation, and reducing inflammation. Cupping can leave temporary marks on the skin, which are signs of the detoxification and healing process.
Applications: Commonly used to treat muscle and join pain, respiratory conditions such as bronchitis and asthma, headaches/migraines, anxiety/depression, and varicose veins among others.
