Cupping Therapy

Cupping is an ancient Chinese method. A partial vacuum is created in cups placed on the skin either by means of heat or suction. This draws up the underlying tissues. When the cup is left in place on the skin for a few minutes, blood stasis (bruising) is formed and localised healing takes place. Cupping therapy has been further developed as a means to open the ‘meridians’ of the body. Cupping has also been found to affect the body up to four inches into the tissues, causing tissues to release toxins, activate the lymphatic system, clear colon blockages and help activate and clear the veins, arteries and capillaries. The cupping technique is very useful and very safe.
