Ventosa is a traditional Filipino healing technique that uses glass cups to create a vacuum on the skin. It is often used to relieve muscle tension, promote blood circulation, and treat various ailments. During a ventosa session, the cups are placed on the skin, usually on the back, and a suction effect is created by heating the cups or using a pump. This suction helps to draw out toxins and stagnant blood from the body, bringing fresh blood flow to the area and promoting healing. Ventosa is believed to have therapeutic benefits and is commonly used in conjunction with massage therapy.
