Cupping Therapy

Cupping is one of the oldest methods of traditional Chinese medicine. The cup is applied to the skin and a vacuum (by suction or fire) is created which pulls the skin up into the cup. This effect is thought to open up the skin’s pores, which helps to stimulate the flow of blood, balances and realigns qi, breaks up obstructions, and creates an avenue for toxins to be drawn out of the body.
