Cupping
is an ancient Chinese method of causing local congestion. A partial
vacuum is created in cups placed on the skin either by means of heat or
suction. This draws up the underlying tissues.
When
the cup is left in place on the skin for a few minutes, blood stasis is
formed and localized healing takes place. Cupping therapy has been
further developed as a means to open the Meridians of the body.
Meridians are the conduits in the body through which energy flows to every part of the body and through
every organ and tissue. There are five meridians on the back that, when
opened, allow invigorating energy to travel the whole length of the
body.
It
has been found that cupping is probably the best way of opening those
meridians. Cupping has also been found to affect the body up to four
inches into the tissues, causing tissues to release toxins, activate the
lymphatic system, clear colon blockages, help activate and clear the
veins, arteries and capillaries, activate the skin, clear stretch marks
and improve varicose veins.
Cupping
is the best deep tissue massage available. Cupping, the technique, is
very useful and very safe and can be easily learned and incorporated
into your family health practices. Now plastic cups based on the
traditional cups by applying the traditional cupping therapy together
with the magnetic therapy.
The
new cups have done away with the traditional firing. This has made the
application of the cups more easily and safely. It has a good
penetrating effect and a big drawing strength. It has not only improved
efficacy but also simplified the procedures of cupping therapy.
