What is Cupping?

Cupping is another safe and non-invasive treatment that is especially effective for relieving pain and improving blood circulation. Cups placed on specific points along the meridians exert a slight suction which sucks out dampness, excess cold, toxins and even stagnant blood that can collect in different parts of the body. Cups are made of different materials – usually glass, bamboo or porcelain. Cupping is performed in different ways (e.g., San Guan, Zou Guan) according to the nature of a person’s health and can detoxify and calm the body and increase overall vitality. It can also help to promote weight loss.
