Cupping therapy

Cupping Therapy Cupping therapy is an ancient method of alternative medicine (vacuum therapy) in which glass, silicone, or plastic cups are applied to the skin to create suction. This vacuum effect draws the skin upward, stimulates blood flow, releases muscle tension, reduces pain, and promotes regeneration. Cupping is often combined with classic massage for enhanced results. The suction is created either by heating the air inside the cup or using a mechanical pump. How It Works: Vacuum Creation: The cup adheres to the skin through suction, achieved by heat or a pump. Improved Circulation: The suction stimulates blood flow and accelerates metabolism and microcirculation. Muscle Release: Helps relax tight tissues, flush out toxins, and deliver nutrients to the area. Benefits & Indications: Pain Relief: Effective for back pain, neck tension (including migraines and headaches), shoulders, hips, knees, and conditions like tennis elbow. Respiratory Support: Can assist with cough, asthma, and bronchitis when applied to the chest. Women’s Health: Helps with menstrual discomfort. Digestive Issues: Supports abdominal health and bladder function. Aesthetic Use: Reduces cellulite and can be applied to the face for skin nourishment.
