Cupping

Cupping is a therapy designed to stimulate the flow of blood and Qi by applying suction through a small glass or plastic cup. Often used to relieve sore muscles, tension, or neck pain, this simple technique can often be more effective than pharmaceutical alternatives. Cupping can also be used to treat colds by breaking up congestion.

Think of cupping as an inside out massage - a pulling force rather than a pushing one. Cupping, in a sense, drains stress and soreness, leaving patients feeling rejuvenated.
