Cupping

What is Cupping? :

Cupping therapy is an ancient healing method that eases back pain, neck pain, headaches and other issues. It uses suctions to pull on your skin and increase blood flow to the affected area.

How can Cupping help me?

Cupping may ease symptoms of:

  • Arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis

  • Back pain, neck pain, knee pain and shoulder pain

  • Asthma and other breathing issues

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome

  • Gastrointestinal disorders like Irritable Bowel Syndrome

  • High blood pressure (hypertension)

What is the process of cupping like? :

Cups are applied to the skin to create suction, drawing the skin and underlying tissue upwards. This suction also breaks open tiny blood vessels (capillaries) under your skin. Your body then replenishes the cupped areas with healthier blood flow and stimulates proper and normal healing at a cellular level. Because of this effect, some people believe that cupping releases toxins.
