What is Cupping therapy


history

Cupping therapy dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures. It is now accepted as a beneficial therapy in Western culture. Cupping is rising in popularity among many athletes and used by Chinese medicine practitioners to help treat many forms of diseases and injuries. 





How cupping works:


Special glass cups are warmed up with a flame and are placed on the skin. When the air inside the cup cools down it creates a vacuum and the skin is gently raised inside the cup. This affects the blood vessels and other fluids around muscle and tissue: toxins are pulled away, old stagnant blood is moved around and this is making place for new oxigen rich blood to reach the muscles and tissues, promoting circulation and healing.


What cupping does:

Cupping pulls blood to a region to stimulate healing. It is effective at stretching tight fascia and muscles. Cupping helps the tissue develop new blood flow and causes anti-inflammatory chemicals in the body. Cupping is generally painless and can be more effective than massage for muscle problems.


Cupping is used in the treatment of 

-Rheumatic diseases such as arthritis and fibromyalgia  

-Skin problems such as eczema and acne 

-High blood pressure (hypertension) 

-Migraine 

-Anxiety and depression 

-Stress

-Bronchial congestion caused by allergies and asthma 

-Tight Fascia 

-Tight Muscles 

-Scar tissue and adhesions (including old scars) 

-Treatment for pneumonia

Cupping promotes circulation and therefor can help prevent illness.

'Cold Cupping' 


As an acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner my favorite way of cupping is Fire Cupping,

but here are some situations when I use Cold Cupping (cupping with plastic cups and vacuum controlled with a suction gun)

- on feet and hands

- near face

- when I need precise suction
