Benefits of Cupping

• Pain reduction by releasing tissues, relaxing muscles, relieving stiffness

• Relaxation by sedating the central nervous system

• Improving skin health by increasing  blood flow

• Helps respiratory issues and colds by circulating blood/Qi to the lungs and clearing congestion

• Improving digestion by lowering the stress response

I do traditional fire-cupping using fire to create negative pressure. Cups are often added during acupuncture treatments and remain on the body for 10-20 minutes. 

Types of Cupping

• Stationary Cupping - Cups are placed on the body and stay there for 10-15 minutes.

• Moving Cupping - Massage oil is applied to the skin under the cups so that the cups can move and slide along the meridian or along muscles.

• Flash Cupping - Cups are rapidly placed and removed over the same area.
