In Ancient Chinese Medicine, cupping was referenced as early as 280 BC. Cupping therapy has been a standard therapeutic treatment in almost every culture in the world.

Cupping is a very safe and effective treatment modality that improves blood circulation, and lymphatic flow in the Healthy Body. It is a great tool to help with pain relief and has no demonstrable negative effects on the Healthy Body when practiced by a properly informed practitioner.

Cupping works by creating a partial vacuum (aka negative pressure massage cupping) by adhering a glass, silicon, or plastic cup to the skin. When qi is stuck in the Healthy Body and cannot flow pain results. Cupping helps break up the blockage to restore the Healthy Body’s natural flow of qi and promote relaxation.
