Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is an alternative healing technique that has been practiced for centuries in various cultures around the world. It involves the use of specialized cups, typically made of glass, bamboo, or silicone, to create suction on the skin’s surface. This suction is achieved by either heating the air inside the cup and then placing it on the skin (fire cupping) or by using a vacuum pump (modern cupping). The cups are usually left in place for a few minutes or moved around the body to achieve specific therapeutic effects.
