Cupping Therapy

An ancient Chinese method of mobilizing blood flow to the skin surface to promote a healing process. The air inside the cup is heated with an open flame, the opening of the cup is then placed upon the skin, as the air cools it creates a partial vacuum, drawing the skin up slightly into the cup. The cup remains in place for a few minutes, blood stasis is formed, localized healing begins. Cupping has been found to effect the body up to four inches deep into the tissues, causing toxins to be released, activating the lymphatic system, clearing blockages and is known to clear stretch marks and improve varicose veins.
