WHAT IS CUPPING THERAPY?
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative
medicine and has been around for thousands of
years. Cupping is based on the belief that
certain health problems can be caused by stagnant
blood and poor energy flow through your body. To
reduce or prevent those health issues, cupping
practitioners apply cupstypically glass or
siliconeto your skin to create a pressure that
sucks your skin inward. The pressure that the
cups create draws blood to the affected area,
increasing your blood flow overall.

How does cupping work?
Experts are still exploring how cupping eases
pain and disease symptoms. There isnt a lot of
research on the therapy. Suction from cupping
draws fluid into the treated area. This suction
force expands and breaks open tiny blood vessels
(capillaries) under the skin. Your body treats
the cupping area like an injury. It sends more
blood to the area to stimulate the natural
healing process. Some people theorize that
cupping clears the pores and releases toxins.
