What is cupping?
Cupping therapy is one of the oldest forms of Chinese alternative medicine where suction is created on the skin. The suction mobilizes blood flow in order to promote healing. It balances and realigns the flow of Qi (energy), breaks up obstructions, and relieves pain.
Benefits of Cupping
-
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, cupping therapy can open the “meridians” of the body and allow invigorating energy flow. Modern scientific research has found that cupping provides several benefits including:
-
Releasing toxins from tissues
-
Activation of the lymphatic system
-
Clearing the veins, arteries, and capillaries
-
Activation of the skin and clearing stretch marks
-
Loosening of muscle tension
-
Smoother blood flow
-
Sedating the nervous system, which makes it an excellent treatment for high blood pressure
-
Reduction of cellulite
What some of our happy clients say
Types of Cupping
Many people know about cupping, but just a few know that there are actually two different types: dry and wet. The Dry Cupping method is what most people are familiar with, as it involves only using suction.
And Wet Cupping, also known as Blood Cupping, involves both suction and “controlled medical bleeding.” For this technique, our practitioner will create a small puncture in the skin with a lancet, then place the cup over it to draw out a small amount of blood.
According to ancient Chinese medicine, it helps to clear the bad blood and bad energy. Many athletes opt for this option to treat muscle soreness, recover faster, and help with range of motion.
