Cupping is a TCM therapy where glass or plastic cups are used to apply suction and heat to meridian points on the body. It increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed.
This relieves muscle tension, which improves overall blood flow and promotes cell repair.
Cupping can help with:
• Muscle aches and rheumatism With cupping, the suction and heat give your body a deep relief from muscle aches and rheumatism. It draws out bodily dampness, which is a common cause of muscle aches and rheumatism.
• Weight management In TCM, obesity comes from an impaired digestive system. This means that your digestive system may not be working well, thus causing obesity.
For overweight patients, cupping stimulates digestion, encourages bowel movements and helps remove waste products from the body.
With a better digestive system, your body is better able to handle food and give you a better weight.
• Flu or cold Flu or cold symptoms usually indicates that there is stagnation in the meridians. Cupping can target areas of stagnation and restore a healthy blood flow and energy, hence alleviating the flu or cold symptoms.
• General health maintenance Cupping improves the health of an average person, It helps to relax your muscles, improves the blood flow and energy in meridians and internal organs.
This improves the performance of your body and is a form of stress relief.
