Cupping Therapy
YourHomeopathy now offers cupping therapy. Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist places special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. This suction facilitates healing with blood flow and is often used for pain relief, inflammation reduction, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
How Does Cupping Therapy Work?
-
Suction Cups: The therapist places cups on the skin, typically made of glass, bamboo, earthenware, or silicone.
-
Creating Suction: The suction is created by either heating the air inside the cup or using a mechanical pump.
-
Application: The cups are placed on various parts of the body, often on the back, shoulders, neck, and sometimes on the legs or other areas.
-
Duration: Cups are left in place for about 5-15 minutes.
