Cupping

Unlocking the Healing Power of Cupping Therapy: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Wellness

Air oxygen contained in spherical glasses is burned, creating a vacuum. We use this suction effect to draw the upper layers of the skin into the cupping glasses at defined body sites. For 5-10 minutes, we create locally altered blood circulation and draw blood cells from the vessels into the tissue. This leads to irritation, and the body responds with increased blood transport after the cupping glasses are removed. Metabolism is stimulated.

Effect: Promotes blood circulation, relieves tension, stimulates local metabolism, increases lymph flow, also affects internal organs through the activation of reflex pathways.

Application: Muscle tension, pain, lymphatic congestion, circulatory disorders

Application Areas of Cupping Therapy

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), cupping therapy is used to treat a variety of conditions, reflecting the holistic approach of TCM where physical, emotional, and spiritual health are interconnected. Here are some conditions and areas where cupping therapy is traditionally believed to be beneficial:

Pain Relief: Cupping is commonly used to alleviate pain, particularly in the back, neck, shoulders, and other areas of the body. It’s thought to promote blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and improve overall circulation, which can help ease pain.

Respiratory Issues: TCM practitioners often use cupping for respiratory conditions like the common cold, pneumonia, and bronchitis. It is believed to help open the lungs, which can improve oxygen flow and facilitate the resolution of respiratory infections.

Digestive Problems: Cupping might be applied to assist with digestive issues. According to TCM, it can help enhance digestive function by promoting the body’s metabolism and relieving symptoms of indigestion, bloating, and constipation.
