Service Description

How It Works: ● Preparation: Materials: Glass cups, a source of fire (usually a cotton ball soaked in alcohol), and sometimes a lubricant (like oil) for the skin. Patient Positioning: The patient typically lies down on a flat surface, often with their back exposed. ● Creating Suction: Fire Application: A practitioner ignites a cotton ball soaked in alcohol, briefly places it inside the glass cup to heat the air, and then quickly removes it. Cup Placement: The heated cup is swiftly placed on the skin. As the air inside the cup cools, it creates a vacuum, drawing the skin and superficial muscle layer into the cup. ● Duration: The cups are left in place for 5 to 15 minutes. The skin may turn red as blood vessels expand. Benefits and Uses: ● Pain Relief: Commonly used to relieve muscle tension, back pain, and joint pain. ● Improved Circulation: Believed to increase blood flow to the area, promoting healing. ● Detoxification: Thought to help remove toxins from the body through increased blood flow and lymphatic circulation. ● Relaxation: Can help reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being. Safety and Considerations: ● Qualified Practitioner: Performed by a trained and experienced practitioner to avoid burns or skin damage. ● Hygiene: Important to use clean, sterilized equipment to prevent infections. ● Skin Reactions: Some people may experience mild bruising or skin irritation. ● Medical Conditions: People with certain medical conditions (like skin infections or blood disorders) should consult a healthcare provider before undergoing cupping therapy.
