Cupping therapy involves placing cups on the skin to create a suction.
The negative pressure created by the suction brings the toxins in the body to the surface and the colour of the skin will start
changing according to the amount of toxins being brought up. Wet Cupping is then performed to physically remove the toxins that have come up to the surface from each organ.There are many physical, emotional and mental benefits to Cupping.
1. Pain Relief and Muscle Relaxation:
Cupping is often used to alleviate various types of pain, such as muscle pain, back pain, and neck pain. The suction created by the cups help to increase blood flow to the affected area, which promotes healing and reduce discomfort. The suction and pressure of the cups help to loosen tight muscles and improve flexibility. This can be particularly beneficial for athletes and individuals with chronic muscle tension.
2. Chronic Conditions:
Cupping therapy helps to regulate glucose levels, blood flow and can help lower cholesterol. Chronic pain such as Fibromyalgia and arthritis are also known to be reduced with the help of Cupping therapy.
3. Improved Blood Circulation:
Cupping therapy helps to stimulate blood flow to the treated area, which can help to promote healing and reduce inflammation. Wet Cupping physically removes toxins from the body which allows for better circulation and immediate
improvement in one’s overall well-being.
4. Stress Reduction:
Many people find cupping therapy to be relaxing and soothing. The sensation of the cups pulling on the skin can be calming, and some individuals report feelingless stressed and more relaxed after a cupping session.
5. Improved Emotional and Mental Health:
Cupping therapy helps to bring up suppressed emotions from different organs. When certain areas are cupped it can help release the build-up of emotional stress and trapped emotions. Cupping on a regular basis can lead to a better emotional and mental wellbeing.
It is important to note that cupping may not be suitable for everyone, and it is essential to consult
with a qualified Cupping Practitioner before trying it, especially if you have any underlying health
conditions or concerns.
