🔥 Fire cupping is a modality of Chinese medicine used along with an Acupuncture treatment. A technique that involves placing glass cups on the skin to create suction. A flame is placed in the cup to burn the oxygen out so when placed on the skin it creates a tight suction (don’t worry it is not hot or painful).
🔥What’s does it treat?
•Cupping helps to circulate blood, reduce inflammation and pain. It also helps with digestive issues, cold and flu symptoms, fertility, paralysis, neuropathy, facial rejuvenation, and emotional healing.
🔥Does it hurt? How does it work?
•Cupping doesn’t hurt. It is not hot or painful it just feels like a tight suction.
An old Chinese saying says that “where there’s stagnation, there will be pain. Remove the stagnation, and you remove the pain.”
This is exactly what cupping seeks to address. By removing obstruction, cupping encourages the body to heal and regenerate.
Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed reducing muscle tension, and drawing out toxins.
Cupping improves overall blood flow and promotes cell repair.
🔥What’s up with the cup marks?
•The marks are not bruises just stagnant blood coming to the surface so new blood can come heal the area.
Everyone’s cupping color will be different depending on what they’re dealing with.
