What is Cupping?


Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage. 

 Cupping has been popular in Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures going back thousands of years, but increasing numbers of people worldwide have been adopting it. Celebrities and athletes have popularised it in the U.S. in recent years.

During the 2016 summer Olympics Michael Phelps’s first appearance at the games, it seemed all anyone could talk about was “cupping.” It’s an ancient therapy that left multiple circular discolorations on his skin. During “dry cupping,” suction is applied to the skin for several minutes; sometimes it is combined with massage, acupuncture, or other alternative therapies. 


What can Cupping help with?


The role of cupping is mainly as follows: 

1. It plays a certain role in regulating the nervous system. It has a warm stimulation to the skin, transmits it to the nervous system through skin receptors, and regulates the process of excitation and inhibition of the cerebral cortex. 

2. Promote the recovery function of the body, so that the corresponding tissue metabolism of the skin becomes strong. 

3. Promote local blood circulation, improve the state of congestion, and strengthen metabolism in the body. Enhance local tolerance, play a role in clearing away heat and detoxification, and make the disease quickly disappear.

Cupping is a great way to help treat aches, pain and fatigue. It helps to boost your health in general. It is also used to boost fertility, address anxiety, anaemia and various skin conditions.

It can also be used to target specific organs or issues, book a free consultation to learn more.
