Cupping Therapy:
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.
The cups may be made of:
- Glass
- Bamboo
- Earthenware
- Silicone
The main benefit of cupping therapy is that it promotes increased blood circulation which may help relieve muscle tension, promote cell repair, and aid in other regeneration.
