Revitalize Your Body
What Is Cupping?
Cupping therapy is a technique utilizing sterilized glass or plastic cups to alleviate a variety of ailments.
How It Works
-
Placement: The cups are gently positioned against the skin.
-
Suction: A partial vacuum is created within the cups using a specialized suction pump.
-
Effect: This technique draws blood to the skin's surface and into the connective tissue, or fascia.
-
Duration: After 5–10 minutes, the cups are removed.
Many individuals experience temporary reddish-purple marks called petechiae. These marks are not painful and naturally disappear within three to seven days.
