Detoxify Yourself Using Chinese Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of substitute medicine, which follows a non-invasive healing system. It is a type of therapeutic detoxifying deep-tissue massage, which involves placing special cups on the patient’s skin. These cups extract out stagnant and congested blood by creating suction. It offers a host of health benefits, which often supersede modern medical techniques. It augments immune functions, imparts relaxing and relieving sensations and inflammation, and stimulates healing.

Dry Cupping
During a dry cupping session, your practitioner sets a flammable substance such as alcohol, herbs, or paper inside an appropriate cup and sets it on fire. Then, as the fire goes out, your practitioner places the cups upside-down on the skin. While cooling, a vacuum is generated inside the cup. Underlying skin tissue rises and reddens due to the expansion of blood vessels. Additionally, the practitioner leaves the cups this way for about three minutes. Softer tissues are detoxified using the dry method. The practitioner also moves the cups around after applying a lubricant.
What Is Chinese Cupping?
This therapeutic treatment dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures. Ebers Papyrus, one of the oldest medical textbooks in the world, describes the way ancient Egyptian used cupping therapy in 1550 B.C. Proposed by Hippocrates, the Father of Modern Medicine, his guide to clinical treatment includes the technique.
Therapeutic Cupping is an adaptation of an ancient technique. The purpose of this technique is to promote health and healing by loosening soft tissue and connective tissue including scars and adhesions. In addition, it is also thought to improve blood circulation and increase lymphatic flow. This therapy can also improve functional mobility and joint performance.
