Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage. We use fire cups, bio magnetic cups, facial cups and more!
Benefits of Cupping
Improve the flow of qi, or life energy, which travels throughout the body in channels called meridians. According to traditional Chinese medicine, illness is caused when qi does not move properly in the body.
Practitioners use fire cupping for specific problems in the flow of qi. Fire cupping disperses and moves qi by exerting suction and pressure. Cupping is used when the qi is blocked at certain points, or when qi needs to be drawn to the surface of the body from deep within. For instance, cupping is used to treat lung infections and colds, because it is believed that the suction disperses and energizes the qi that has become blocked and stagnated in the lungs. Cups can also pull out “wind-cold” that in Chinese medicine is believed to cause lung infections.
This treatment flushes your lymphatic system ridding your body of toxins. It brings fresh blood to the surface of the skin helping the appearance of cellulite, fine lines and wrinkles. It also treats many injuries!
