Cupping is an incredible modality for a multitude of health conditions. It is most recognized for its ability to heal muscle and joint issues. It is also wonderful for the mobilization of toxins that have built up in muscle tissue. For this reason, it is a great modality to add to your detoxification regimen. It has the capacity to modulate immune function, stimulate the lymphatic system, break down muscular adhesions, and restore optimal circulation of blood. Franklin Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine is now offering “love cupping” Love cups were created to leave beautiful hearts on the skin instead of the unsightly and strange looking circle that is classically seen with regular cupping. This is particularly great for the summertime days at the pool, hiking, biking, chilling out at beach, etc... At Franklin Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine, our patients are loving the addition of “love cups” to our practice.

The benefits of acupuncture have been recognized for thousands of years by people throughout the world. Acupuncture stimulates your bodies own resources to carry out very specific physiological processes, resulting in true healing. Here is just a fraction of the effects that acupuncture has on the body. The best way to fully understand the effects of acupuncture is to experience them for yourself!

Cupping is great for a variety of issues. People often think about it for post-workout recovery and post-injury rehabilitation. It is known to decrease pain and enhance joint mobility. Cupping works for these issues by creating a vacuum and pulling stagnated blood deep within the muscle to the superficial layer of the skin. Cupping is also a fantastic tool for promoting detoxification and overall wellness.
Every person has some level of toxins in their body due to exposure to viruses, bacteria, parasites, candida, environmental toxins such as air pollutants, toxins in food, and toxic excretions within in the body due to chronic stress. What happens is that some of these toxins are unable to be processed by the liver and kidneys. These toxins can then get stored in the muscle layer. The toxins can then sit deep within the muscle tissue, causing stagnation of blood and lymph.
Cupping is therefore a great tool for detoxification, as it is able to create a vacuum and suck the toxins stored in the muscle layer to the superficial layer of the skin. The toxins can then be moved out of the system via the large network of capillaries within the skin. The vacuum action of cupping stimulates the peripheral nervous system, loosens and lifts connective tissues, and breaks up various forms of stagnation in the body. It also increases blood and lymph flow to skin, muscles, and connective tissues. It does all of these things far more rapidly and effectively than any other modality.
By removing obstruction and encouraging healthy circulation of blood and other fluids, cupping creates space for oxygen and other key nutrients needed for healing. For those looking to optimize their overall quality of life, cupping truly is a fantastic tool to add to your regimen.
