Cupping therapy, or 拔罐, is an ancient practice in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with a history dating back over 2,000 years. This therapy involves placing glass, bamboo, or silicone cups on the skin to create a suction effect. The suction pulls the skin and underlying tissues into the cup, which promotes blood circulation and helps to remove toxins from the body.
The process of cupping is quite simple. The practitioner heats the inside of a cup to create a vacuum and then quickly places the cup on the skin. The cups are typically left in place for 5 to 15 minutes. Cupping can be used to treat a variety of conditions such as muscle pain, tension, inflammation, blood flow issues, and even respiratory problems like the common cold or bronchitis.
Cupping therapy is known for its ability to provide relief from physical pain and stress, promote relaxation, and enhance overall well-being. It is also believed to boost the immune system and support detoxification processes in the body.
