Cupping

In cupping, glass or plastic cups are applied to muscle areas using suction to stimulate blood circulation, and alleviate pain and tension. Cups also move congestion in the lungs and dispel invasions, like the common cold. Often cups leave a red or purple marks that can cause soreness. This is normal and resolves in 1-4 days. The result is relaxation, reduced pain and tightness and improved breathing.
