Fire Cupping Therapy has been used for thousands of years to help prevent illness, detoxify organs and create a natural flow.
This therapy involves the placement of heated glass cups on the skin which creates a vacuum. The skin and muscle layer is then drawn into the cup. The suction and warmth has a dramatic effect on muscles, nerves, joints and the immune system by moving blood and lymph.
Benefits include;
⭐️Helps to release deep muscular tension
⭐️Moves stagnation and helps fluids
⭐️Relieves inflammation
⭐️Nervous system sedation
⭐️Stretches muscle and connective tissue
⭐️Helps to balance out organs
Cupping marks (skin discolouration) represents your body’s level of blood and Qi stagnation, toxin accumulation, or dampness accumulation. The color and pattern of the marks indicate how stagnant the area is. The darker the color, the greater the amount of stagnation.
When doing cupping sessions, we are aiming for healthy blood circulation, however, initially due to general wear and tear, past injuries, or the body not working to its full capacity, this isn’t always the case and the colour may appear darker.
The difference in the colour of the cupping marks can give us some insight to what’s happening inside your body.
