Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, cupping is a powerful therapy that uses glass or silicone cups to create suction on the skin. This technique stimulates blood flow, relieves muscle tension, detoxifies tissues, and promotes healing from within.
How It Works
Cups create negative pressure, drawing blood to the surface and stimulating deep tissue healing. This can result in temporary circular marks – a normal and expected part of the process, often seen as a sign of released tension and stagnation.
