SERVICES ~ CUPPING THERAPY (DRY-CUPPING)

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of Therapy in which a local suction is created on the skin; practitioners believe that this mobilizes blood flow in order to promote healing. Suction is created using heat (fire) or mechanical devices (hand or electrical pumps). Generally, Cupping is combined with Acupuncture/ Acupressure in one treatment, but it can also be used alone. The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system (which makes it an excellent treatment for high blood pressure).

Plastic and glass are the most common materials used today, replacing the pottery, bronze and bamboo cups used in earlier times. The low air pressure required may be created by heating the cup or the air inside it with an open flame or a bath in hot scented oils, then placing it against the skin. As the air inside the cup cools, it contracts and draws the skin slightly inside. In practice, cups are normally used only on softer tissue that can form a good seal with the edge of the cup. They may be used singly or with many to cover a larger area. Skin may be lubricated, allowing the cup to move across the skin slowly.
