Cupping Therapy
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy refers to the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine that uses a heated cup to create a local suction when applied on the skin (on a precisely chosen areas of the meridian system according to the illness). This technique is used to rapidly evacuate a pathogenic factor from the body by forcing it to be evacuated through the suction applied. Cupping helps to unstuck and give a better flow to the microcirculation which later leads to healthier and stronger body immune system.
