Cupping

Cupping therapy is an ancient technique used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to promote healing and restore balance by improving circulation and releasing muscle tension. The therapy involves placing specially designed cups on the skin to create suction, which gently lifts the tissue and increases blood flow to the treated areas.

This suction helps to stimulate the flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood through the body’s meridians, helping to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and support detoxification. Cupping is often used alongside acupuncture, massage, or other TCM treatments to enhance overall effectiveness.

Common benefits of cupping include:

• Relief of muscle tightness and soreness

• Reduction of chronic pain and inflammation

• Improved circulation and lymphatic drainage

• Support for respiratory conditions like congestion and asthma

• Enhanced relaxation and stress reduction

During treatment, you may experience a warming sensation and temporary circular marks on the skin, which typically fade within a few days. Cupping is a safe and natural therapy suitable for most people and can be tailored to your individual health needs.
