Cupping is an ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) technique, dating back over 3000 years, that involves creating suction on the skin using cups. This process increases blood flow to specific areas, delivering nutrients and oxygen while removing toxins. Cupping can produce “petechiae,” indicating areas of stagnant blood flow. This microtrauma stimulates anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, and tissue-regenerative effects, providing relief from pain and various ailments. Often paired with therapeutic oils, cupping feels like a deep tissue massage, promoting healing by restoring flow to stagnant areas in the body.
