    GlossaryCupping Therapy

    involves placing suction cups on the skin to improve circulation

    Cupping Therapy, also known simply as cupping, is an ancient form of alternative medicine where special cups are placed on the skin to create suction. This suction is believed to improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. The therapy can be performed using various methods, including dry cupping (suction only) and wet cupping (suction combined with controlled medicinal bleeding). It is often used to treat pain, muscle tension, and other ailments.
