Cupping massage

Cupping therapy is an ancient traditional medicine with a history spanning thousands of years, involves the placement of specialized cups on the skin to create suction. This suction serves to gently pull on the skin, enhancing blood circulation and encouraging cellular repair. These cups can be strategically positioned on various parts of the body, such as the back, abdomen, arms, legs, and more.

​

Cupping therapy may offer a positive impact on the lymphatic system, a crucial component in the body's waste removal process. Disruptions in the flow of lymph can result in the accumulation of fluids and hinder the efficient elimination of toxins such as uric acid which is a natural byproduct of the digestion of specific foods. Elevated levels of uric acid can lead to increased acidity in the blood and urine. People turn to cupping for a variety of reasons, including pain relief, reduction of inflammation, improved blood circulation, relaxation, and overall well-being. It is often regarded as a form of deep-tissue massage.
