Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is a highly effective and ancient method of detoxifying the body’s tissues and organs. It is also known as vacuum cupping and is a technique in which the therapist uses special cups to apply suction to the skin. Suction increases blood circulation, which aids in muscle relaxation, cell repair, and other regeneration processes.
