Cupping is an ancient Chinese healing method where a vacuum seal is created on parts of the body to improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, activate the lymphatic system and release toxins.
Cupping therapy is very useful for a variety of conditions and can be used in addition to acupuncture or alone as a single therapy.
In many cases it acts as a deep tissue massage. Most people feel very relaxed and experience great relief from pain as soon as the cups are placed.
