How Does Cupping Therapy Work?
Cupping therapy involves using cups made of glass, bamboo, or silicone. Our therapist uses a flammable substance such as herbs, alcohol or paper, puts it in a cup and ignites it. Once the fire is off, the cup is placed down on your skin. The air inside the cup gradually cools down, creating a vacuum. This causes the blood vessels to expand as the skin reddens a little. But this disappears in 2 to 3 days. Our therapist might also move around the cups creating a massage effect for enhanced relief.
This therapy improves circulation and encourages tissues to release harmful toxins. Cupping therapy combined with acupuncture treats a wide variety of ailments from digestive issues, skin issues and many more. There aren’t many side effects of cupping therapy. The skin marked with a circular pattern will disappear in some days. Proven to be effective and safe, cupping therapy is practiced safely in our clinic.
