Cupping

Chinese Fire Cupping is a traditional form of healing, dating back thousands of years.

The cups adhere to the skin’s surface, drawing tissue into the cup, pulling toxins, stagnate blood and fluid to the surface of the skin to be flushed out via the lymphatic system. This is especially useful over “knots” in sore, tired, aching muscles where the blood flow has been restricted to the area.  Fresh blood bathes the muscle deep to its core, lubricating fibers and contributing to the healing of the tissue.  Lymph is also drawn into the  cup which aids in removing the painful build-up of lactic acid in the muscle.  These physiological changes brought about by cupping, decreases tension in the muscle, restores internal organ function and encourages the flow of blood and Qi to the area.
