Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is a treatment which dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures. An ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. This treatment can help with inflammation, improving blood flow and easing any muscle tension. It also helps to remove toxins by drawing impurities to the surface.
When the hot cup is placed on your skin, the air inside the cup cools and creates a vacuum that draws the skin and muscle upward into the cup. This suction pulls blood into the skin and stimulates a natural healing process
