Cupping Therapy

Cupping Therapy is an ancient healing therapy that some people use to relieve pain. A vendor places cups on your back, stomach, arms, legs, or other body parts. Inside the cup, a vacuum or suction pulls the skin up. Cupping is a form of traditional Chinese and Middle Eastern medicine. Cupping therapy has been practiced by people for thousands of years.

Cupping suction cups draw fluid into the treated area. This section expands and opens tiny blood vessels 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 think cupping cleans pores and releases toxins.
