Cupping

What is cupping?

Cupping therapy is a healing treatment that uses cups and vacuum suction to increase blood flow near the surface of your skin. This process helps release deep inflammation, providing relief from various types of pain and dysfunction. While experts aren’t entirely sure of all the benefits of cupping therapy, it is known that the treatment breaks open dozens of capillaries near your skin’s surface, prompting your body to treat these areas as injuries and promote healing. Some also theorize that cupping therapy helps clear toxins directly from the pores in your skin.
