Cupping

                                                                  

The cupping therapy is a traditional therapeutic method with a history of thousands of years in China.

In the United States, it is offered by many massage therapists and acupuncturists, with various celebrities taking advantage of this ancient technique.

Cupping is a method of causing local congestion. A partial vacuum is created in cups placed on the skin by means of suction. This draws up the underlying tissues.

When the cup is left in place on the skin for a few minutes, blood stasis is formed and localized healing takes place.

This results in:

·         improved circulation and blood flow

·         toxin release

·         faster healing of muscles, ligaments, and tendons

·         drain excess fluids

·         loosen adhesions and lift connective tissue,

·         bring blood flow to stagnant skin and muscles

·         stimulate the peripheral nervous system

It is also a safe, non-invasive and an inexpensive technique, which practitioners use to treat a myriad of conditions, like colds and flu, upper respiratory infections, and problems of the internal organs.

Recently, cupping has been in the media for muscular pain, bone pain and spasms, particularly of the back and shoulders.

Cupping has also been found to affect the body up to four inches into the tissues, activate the lymphatic system, clear colon blockages, help activate and clear the veins, arteries and capillaries, activate the skin, clear stretch marks, smooth out cellulite and improve varicose veins. Cupping is the best deep tissue massage available.

After your cupping treatment you may notice some red marks in the form of circles on your skin. This is a sign that the cupping technique has worked to increase your circulation. You will also feel deeply relaxed and the areas that have been treated will feel flexible and light.           

Acucups® are based on the traditional cups, by applying the traditional cupping therapy. They have done away with the traditional firing; this has made the application of Acucups® more easily and safely. 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.
