Acucups® are made of natural rubber and are based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Acucups® cupping technique engages decompression, or negative pressure, rather than tissue compression.

They have done away with the traditional firing; this has made the application of Acucups® more easy and safe. They have a good penetrating effect and a big drawing strength. This has not only improved efficiency but also simplified the procedures of the cupping therapy.

When pressed, Acucups® change their shape and are then placed on skin. When the pressure is released, the deformed cup regains its normal shape which leads to negative pressure in the cup, which creates suction. This negative pressure lifts up underlying tissue instead of pressing down on it, as is usually done in massage - this makes it an excellent therapy for fibromyalgia patients.
