What Is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy is a technique that dates back to 1500 B.C. in ancient Egypt and is a
classical method of traditional Chinese medicine.

 

How Is It Used?
Glass round cups are placed on the skin, creating suction. According to Chinese
tradition, the improvement of blood circulation and the flow of Qi— i.e. of vital
energy—accelerate self-healing.

In Which Cases Is Cupping Therapy Recommended?
Cupping acts as a first aid treatment for cases of colds, bronchitis and even
pneumonia. Its beneficial effects for alleviating muscle pain are also well-known.
Additionally, cupping provides relaxation and well-being and can be effectively used
as a means of intense massage.

Who Is Cupping Therapy Suitable for?
Cupping therapy is a suitable technique for most people, except for those with
sunburn, wounds, skin ulcers, recent injuries, and children under the age of 4. Caution
is required when applying it to elderly people, during pregnancy, or when it is
combined with medication. This type of therapy is prohibited for individuals who are
using blood-thinning medications.
