Fire Cupping Therapy; Cupping is a type of alternative therapy that originated in China which involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. It is believed that the suction may facilitate healing with blood flow. During a cupping treatment, a cup is heated and then placed on the skin or suctioned onto the skin.
The cup is often heated with fire using alcohol, and a cotton ball that’s placed directly into the cup. The fire source is removed, and the heated cup is placed with the open side directly on your skin. The cups leave circular marks that will stay on the skin for 3-7 days. The benefits of this therapy include but not limited to;
- Improve blood flow
- Relieve migraine symptoms
- Help with Fibromyalgia
- Treat chronic neck pain
- Relieve low back pain
- Allow toxins to be carried away via the lymph.
