Cupping
Description
Cupping helps to activate blood vessels in the muscles, increasing blood flow to a particular location. This blood flow has a significant effect on stiffened or weakened muscles, making it a great choice for athletes. Cupping has been known to be suitable for many other issues, such as increasing circulation, body aches, aiding the respiratory system, facial paralysis (Bell’s Palsy) and many other neuropathies. The suction formed by Cupping draws up the old non-circulating stagnant blood from the area, bringing them up to the surface and away from the injury so that healthy circulation can be restored to the affected area, thus creating space for oxygen, living cells and nutrients for faster recovery. Where there is dead, static blood, lymph, cellular debris, pathogenic factors, and toxins present in the body, Cupping can leave marks which indicates that the stagnation or disease has been moved from the deeper tissue layers to the surface.
