Holistic Health: Cupping Therapy -- Ancient, yet relevant







Cupping therapy is an age-old technique and art of holistic healing which aims at removing toxins, improving blood circulation, purifying blood and freeing the energy blocks from the body. This therapy is based on the principle of creating a vacuum on the skin surface by placing cups that massages the tissue, increases the blood flow to the cells and draws out the waste materials. This form of healing practice has traditionally been used as an effective and safe therapy since thousands of years in the ancient Chinese, Egyptian and Islamic cultures.

How does it work?

The inside of the cup  required for creating suction is heated for a fraction of a second using fire and it is then immediately placed on the skin. The air inside the cup cools down which then creates a vacuum inside and produces a mild suction force which makes skin to rise a little and start the healing process. In addition to this heat-induced suction, there are now cups available with a rubber valve that creates vacuum easily and facilitates self-healing as a person can do the treatment by itself also.

Are there any side effects of cupping therapy?

Suction cup therapy is a holistic healing method that does not have any side effects in the body. However sometimes there are mild marks produced on the skin surface, which completely disappear in about ten days from the day of treatment. It is advisable to drink plenty of pure water, maintain healthy lifestyle, regular yoga, meditation, and eating healthy nutritious food in order to speed up the recovery and gain maximum benefits from the treatment.

Cupping has proved to be beneficial in treating conditions such as cellulite, cervical Spondylosis, sciatica, premature aging, chronic diseases, hypertension, high blood cholesterol, skin diseases, traumatic injuries, varicose veins, scars, stretch marks, female infertility, facial paralysis, and herpes, migraine and back pain. This is the only known method that works effectively to remove the appearance of stretch marks and ugly cellulite on the skin surface that most women nowadays suffer from. Apart from this, many spa and centres are using cupping as a tool to bring about general rejuvenation and relaxation to the tired muscles and senses.
