WHAT IS CUPPING THERAPY
Cupping therapy is a physical treatment which refers to a technique that uses small glass cups,plastic
cups or bamboo jars as suction devices that are placed on the skin.
This method is mostly used in Asian and Middle Eastern countries. Cupping is believed to have potential benefit in treating musculoskeletal conditions.
USES AND EFFECTS
The most common conditions were pain related such as chronic muscle pain, low back pain, neuralgia
pain, fibromyalgia and headache.Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form newconnective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue. People use cupping to complement their care for a host of issues and conditions.
Cupping therapy is one of the oldest and most effective method of releasing the toxins from body tissue and organs. It is a practice in which the therapist puts special cups on the skin to create suction. This causes the tissue beneath the cup to be drawn up and swell causing increase in blood flow to affected area. Enhanced blood flow under the cups draws impurities and toxins away from the nearby tissues and organs towards the surface for elimination.
