Cupping
Cupping is an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and often used alongside acupuncture to treat various conditions, such as back pain, muscle recovery, respiratory issues, and even stress relief. It involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction, increasing blood flow to the area, facilitating healing, reducing inflammation, and easing muscle stiffness. By promoting circulation, cupping helps detoxify the body and affected tissues, relieve tension and alleviates stress. Athletes, wellness enthusiasts, and individuals seeking a natural approach to healing often turn to cupping as a restorative treatment.

How Does Cupping Work?
During a cupping session, cups are placed on specific areas of the body, usually the back, shoulders, or neck. The suction created by the cups stimulates blood flow to the area, which improves circulation and draws nutrients to the tissues. This process helps to release tight muscles, ease inflammation, and promote lymphatic drainage, which encourages detoxification and the removal of toxins.
In TCM, cupping is believed to unblock Qi (the body’s vital energy) in areas where energy has stagnated, helping to restore balance within the body and promote healing. The therapy can leave circular marks on the skin, known as "cupping marks," which fade after a few days. These marks are not painful and are considered a sign of the body releasing toxins and bringing fresh blood flow to the area.
