What is Cupping?

Cupping is an ancient alternative medicine where a licensed therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create a suction. The cup can be made of glass, bamboo, earthenware, or silicone. There are two types of cupping, wet and dry. In either type, the therapist will put a flammable substance in the cup, such as alcohol or herbs, and set them on fire. Once the fire goes out, they will put the cup upside down on your skin, which creates a suction that pulls your skin and increases blood flow to the affected area. Cupping can be done on your back, stomach, arms, legs, and face. Cupping helps with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation, and well-being.
