What is Cupping?

Vacuum cupping is a form of therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create a suction effect. The cups are typically made of glass, silicone, or plastic and can be either heated or used with a vacuum pump to create suction.

During the procedure, the cups are placed on specific areas of the skin, creating a vacuum that draws blood to the surface and increases circulation to the area. This can help to reduce pain and inflammation, promote relaxation, and improve overall health and well-being.

Vacuum cupping has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine and is still practiced today in many parts of the world. It is often used to treat a variety of conditions, including muscle tension, back pain, headaches, and respiratory problems, among others.
