Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy has been around since ancient times. It’s an alternative treatment in which the therapist uses cups and places them on a person’s skin.  The suction from the cups increases circulation to the area where the cups are placed. The additional blood flow to that area can help relieve muscle tension and promote cell repair. Increasing circulation with cupping also helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Cupping encourages tissues to release toxins! Yes, you do have organs that remove toxins from your blood. But the modern lifestyle overloads your body with toxins. Cupping gives your body a boost in releasing those toxins. Focused blood flow helps your body by flushing built-up toxins through the lymphatic system. (Your lymphatic system is responsible for eliminating your body’s toxins and waste.)

​

When your therapist glides the cups across your skin, your parasympathetic nervous system engages. This promotes deep relaxation to move through your entire body. (Your parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for slowing your heart rate, assisting in digestion, and increasing intestinal and gland activity.)

​

Increased blood flow enables your body to dispose of toxins, restores lymphatic circulation, and helps remove edema (excess fluid), which helps reduce the appearance of scarring. Studies have shown the positive effects of cupping on stretch marks and scars even in areas that are far from the area where the cups are applied.

​

Cupping therapy is also helpful in preventing liver diseases. The treatment takes out the senile and stagnant corpuscles. It also extracts any impurities found in the blood. When this happens, blood flows into the liver better. This then helps the improve the liver’s functionality and productivity. It helps transform cholesterol metabolically. It’s also in charge of transforming the excess triglycerides in the blood.

If the liver isn’t able to perform these functions, the blood starts storing excess sugar. This raises the body’s blood glucose level. Through cupping therapy, the liver can detoxify the blood effectively. This process maintains the body’s optimum temperature too. The hepatic enzymes also start working well. They can break down molecules faster. When the liver works well, this means that it’s disease-free.

​

Finally, cupping therapy is also beneficial to the nervous system. Nowadays, a lot of diseases and disorders in the nervous system are becoming more and more common. These issues are because of today’s climatic conditions as well as the wealth of new and complex machines. These days, many people are suffering from psychological problems which are hard to diagnose and even harder to treat.

​

The body’s nervous system functions when neurons communicate with each other. When this happens, the brain can transmit signals to the other parts of the body. Cupping therapy helps the brain with the process of transmitting the signals. It helps by eliminating any congestion in the brain which may result in complications. When the brain is healthy, it’s able to transmit signals well. This makes the rest of the body responds. This treatment is also extremely effective against emotional problems like depression, epilepsy, headaches, and ischemia.
