Cupping is a traditional therapy that uses gentle suction to help relieve tension, improve circulation, and promote healing. During a cupping session, small cups are placed on the skin to create a vacuum effect, which lifts the underlying tissue slightly. This process encourages blood flow to the area, helps release tight muscles, and supports the body’s natural detoxification process. Cupping is often used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, ease stress, and support overall wellness. While it may leave temporary marks that look like bruises, these are generally painless and fade within a few days. Many people find cupping to be a deeply relaxing and restorative experience.
