Traditional Chinese cupping

Cupping can currently be included in the field of alternative or complementary medicine, and is thus one of the methods of treatment used in holistic medicine.

The advantage is the easy application of the flaks and the great effect of the treatment, which often manifests itself immediately after the removal of the flaks themselves, or even during the application.

The essence of cupping is the application of flasks of various sizes, shapes and materials to designated points or areas of the body. Air is sucked out of the flasks by manipulation, and thanks to the resulting vacuum, various volumes of skin and subcutaneous tissue are sucked into the flask. One of the common possibilities is the so-called mobile cupping or massage cupping, which can precede the cupping itself or is used completely independently.

What is cupping?

Cupping is a very old method used for diseases and problems of the musculoskeletal system. Flasks are applied to designated places (reflex zones, acupuncture points) or used for massage.

Classical theories describe the effect of cupping in regulating blood flow. It should help to bring pollutants to the surface and eliminate them. Cupping opens the skin pores and thus allows the elimination of pollutants.
