Is Cupping beneficial?

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of traditional Chinese medicine, in which the practitioner puts special cups on skin for a few minutes to create suction.

The benefit of Cupping:

• Release muscle stiffness and pain,
• Improve the blood flow and circulation, reduce the inflammation,
• Reduce stress
• Improve well-being

Types of Cupping Therapy:

Wet cupping (Hijama): The treatment uses a vacuum at different points on the body with incisions on the skin (minor, light scratches using a disinfected needle) to eliminate toxins and free radicals from the body.

Dry Cupping: This is using a vacuum on different body areas to gather the blood in that area without incisions.

Moving Cupping: This is similar to dry cupping, but oil is applied to the skin (before the cups) to allow easy movement of the cups. It helps improve blood circulation and relax the muscle.
