Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This suction promotes blood flow, loosens muscles, and encourages relaxation. It's often used to alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote overall well-being. The cups may be left in place or moved around to target specific areas of the body.
Improves circulation by stimulating the flow of blood, lymph, and Qi (energy) throughout the body, which can enhance overall health and vitality.
Helps alleviate symptoms of respiratory conditions such as asthma and bronchitis by improving lung function and reducing inflammation in the respiratory system.
Supports detoxification by drawing toxins and impurities to the skin's surface, where they can be eliminated through the body's natural processes.
Promotes relaxation and stress reduction by activating the parasympathetic nervous system and inducing a state of deep relaxation.
